“O thou maid-servant of God!…”
|
O thou maid-servant of God!
|
Though thy letter was brief in words, it was ample
in significance. It indicated that thy heart is illumined,
thine inner sight is open and thine ear of understanding
is familiar with the mystery. This is a gift from God,
the Independent.
|
Thine expression of kindness to Miss ….…. is
very acceptable. Be thou kind to all on the earth, a
care-taker (or helper) to every sick person, an open
treasure to every indigent one; offer thou salutary water
to the athirst; bestow the bread (or food) of life upon
the hungered; console thou the helpless, exhort the ignorant
and seek forgiveness for the sinner.
|
If, hereafter, thou mayest write a letter to Miss
….…., deliver unto her this my message:
|
“O Miss ….….! The Tree of Life is full of
blossoms, leave and fruits! —the shade thereof is a
peace to soul and a rest to the consciousness. Whosoever
is under this Tree will certainly partake of fruit.
But shade trees are many in the forest, which, though
fresh and verdant, are, nevertheless, fruitless. This
truth shall finally become clear and manifest unto thee.”
|
Kiss thou the face and hair of Ruhullah on my behalf.
