[Tablet of August 4, 1914]
|
|
|
Thy letter was received. It imparted great happiness. Praise be
to God that that dear daughter is sacrificing herself in the path of
Bahá’u’lláh and enduring every difficulty.
|
It is now more advisable for thee to depart directly to Japan and
while there be engaged in the diffusion of the fragrances of God. From
there thou mayest return to India and from India to the Holy Land.
|
Today the greatest of all divine bestowals is teaching the Cause
of God for it is fraught with confirmations. Every teacher is confirmed
and is favored at the Divine Threshold. In the estimation of the Ideal
King, the army which is in the front of the battlefield is encircled with
the glances of His mercifulness and in the sight of the Divine Farmer,
the sower of the seed is accepted and favored.
|
I hope that thou mayest be like unto a realm conquering army
and a farmer, therefore thy voyage to Japan is preferred to everything
else. Still thou are perfectly free.
