“O thou heavenly, brilliant and precious pearl!…” |
I greet thee from this Holy Land with a fragrance
from God and I desire that thy heart become animated
through the gentle breeze of God, thy bosom dilated
with joy by the miracles of the gifts of God, thine eye
157
consoled by seeing the lights of God, thy tongue by
uttering the mention of BAHA’O’LLAH, and thy taste to
become sweet through the divine table descending from
heaven. Verily, I say unto thee that the gifts of thy
Lord are encircling thee in a similar way as the spirit
encircles the body at the beginning of the amalgamation
of the elements and natures in the womb; the power of
the spirit begins then to appear in the body gradually
and successively according to the preparation and capacity
to receive that everlasting abundance. I ask God to
help thee that the spirit will carry out its power in thee
as desired and wished.
