O thou who warmest thyself by the fire of the love of God,
spreading from the Tree of the Covenant! Let thy soul be at ease
and thy heart in peace concerning the perfect success and progress
which the pen is not able to express, for in a short time thou shalt
see the flag of the Kingdom waving in those far and wide regions,
and the lights of the Truth shining brilliantly in its dawn above
those horizons, and thou shalt know that thou art the center of
the circle of the love of God, the axis around which souls revolve
in their way and supplication to God. Therefore, thou must widen
thy heart, dilate thy breast, have patience in plenty, calmness of
soul and cut thyself from everything but God! By God, the
truth is, if thou goest according to the teachings of El-Abd and
followest the steps of Him who is annihilated in God, thou shalt
see that the cohorts of the Kingdom of God will come to thy help,
one after another, and that the hosts of the Might of God will be
in thy presence in steady succession, the gates of the great victory
opened and the rays of the brilliant morning diffused! By thy
life, O my beloved! if thou didst know what God had ordained
for thee, thou wouldst fly with delight and thy happiness, gladness
and joy would increase every hour. El-Bahá be upon thee!
