I hope that in this nether world thou shalt attain
unto heavenly light, thou wilt free the souls from the
gloom of nature, which is the animal kingdom, and cause
them to reach lofty stations in the human kingdom. Today
all people are immersed in the world of nature. That is why
thou dost see jealousy, greed, the struggle for survival,
deception, hypocrisy, tyranny, oppression, disputes, strife,
bloodshed, looting and pillaging, which all emanate from
the world of nature. Few are those who have been freed
from this darkness, who have ascended from the world of
nature to the world of man, who have followed the divine
Teachings, have served the world of humanity, are
resplendent, merciful, illumined and like unto a rose
garden. Strive thine utmost to become godlike, characterized
with His attributes, illumined and merciful, that thou
mayest be freed from every bond and become attached at
heart to the Kingdom of the incomparable Lord. This is
Bahá’í bounty, and this is heavenly light.
