“O ye dear friends and maid-servants of God!…” |
O ye
1
dear friends and maid-servants of God!
|
Praise be to God, that town, by the presence of the
beloved ones and the maid-servants of the Merciful,
hath become a veritable paradise and its space, like
unto the heavens, is illuminated with radiant lamps.
If this conflagration and attraction continue for a
period, Kenosha will soon attain great provisions, will
travel with speed through the degrees of existence and
make great progress in the orders of the Kingdom.
|
Therefore, this prisoner implores and supplicates at
dawn, seeking strength and confirmation for the beloved
of that town. Thus may heavenly confirmation become
your associate and the morn of eternal happiness dawn
upon ye and the Sun of Reality rise with such brilliancy
as to dispel entirely the gloom of ignorance from
those horizons.
|
O ye beloved of God! As long as ye can strive to
set aglow the hearts with love, be attracted to one another
147
and be members of each other. Every soul of
the beloved ones must adore the other and withhold
not his possession and life from them, and by all means
he must endeavor to make that other joyous and happy.
But that other (the recipient of such love) must also
be disinterested and life-sacrificing. Thus may this
Sunrise flood the horizons, this melody gladden and
make happy all the people, this divine remedy become
the panacea for every disease, this Spirit of Reality
become the cause of life for every soul.
