“O thou who art advancing toward the Threshold of…” |
Verily, I have read the expressions of thy longing
for the visit and thy craving to come to this Brilliant
Spot. But the violators of the Covenant of God have
stirred up the dust of deception, and besides this, there
200
are numerous obstacles and it is impossible for thee to
come in these times. But verily, I pray my Lord to
make this success feasible unto thee in a future time.
There is for this a mature wisdom concealed from sight,
but it shall appear as clear as the sun in midday.

As to thee, be rejoiced at the glad-tidings of thy
Lord and trust in His great gifts, the lights of which
have shone forth upon the horizons of hearts and souls,
and trust in the assistance of thy Master, and ask what
thou wishest of the gifts of thy Lord, the Unconstrained!
Draw nigh unto Him with a pure heart,
cheerful face, gazing eye and a joyful spirit and plunge
with thy whole being into the sea of the love of God
and forget all else save Him, so that thou mayest be
filled with such spiritual sentiments from the kingdom
of God, which will take the reins of desire from thy
hands and move thee with the power of thy Lord, just
as the wind moveth a mote in the open air as it willeth.
At that time we will draw unto each other in spirit, a
nearness which will be eternal, everlasting and endless.
