“O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God and…” |

May it be salutary to thee, the draught from this
cup, which is overflowing with the wine of the love of
God.

Blessed art thou, that thy heart is connected with the
callings of the Kingdom of El-Abha, so that thou
hast dispensed with the telepathic wires of the world,
because the terminal of the spiritual wire reached the
center of thy heart and the other is placed in the
Spiritual Center, vibrating informations constantly
through the power of the Spirit and successively conveying
the great glad-tidings. This is the station of
(or for) every maid-servant whose heart is filled with
the love of God and attracted to the Beauty of El-Abha.

Thank God for showing unto thee and thy dear
friend, the revered ….…., the great power and
might of the Kingdom personified in the body of
humanity, and that thou didst worship Him with a
brilliant heart, and He addressed thee (saying):
“Peace be unto thee! Peace be unto thee!” His white
vestment is the garment of the Manifestation and [His]
brilliant color. Regarding the gems which appeared on
His breast, they are peerless pearls of wisdom which
shine unto the horizons with a godlike fame. As to His
shining face, verily it hath illumined the earth and
dispersed the darkness from the contingent world.
Regarding thine entrance with thy friend into the gallery
lighted with lamps, know thou that gallery is the
world of humanity and the lamps His wonderful teaching,
His all-wisdom, His perfect bounty and His clear
manifestation. He is the Absent-Present in the world
of humanity.

O maid-servant of God! It is incumbent upon thee
to diffuse the fragrances, it is incumbent upon thee to
288
promulgate the teachings of God and it is incumbent
upon thee to breathe the spirit of life into the hearts
of the people of those regions, so that thou be a lamp
of guidance in the recess of Green Acre. Take the
cup of the love of God in thy right hand and with thy
left hand hoist the banner of universal peace, love and
affection among the nations of the earth. Call out
(saying): “Hasten! Hasten unto the Great Bounty!
Press! Press forward unto the Abundant Mercy!
Speed! Speed unto the Manifest Light! Be urgent!
Be urgent for the Great Attainment! Verily, by God
the Truth, the doors of the Kingdom are opened, the
lights of God have shown forth and illumined the
horizon of the earth! The Lord of Hosts hath descended
with the army of lights and angels of heaven
and depressed the armies of darkness! He sent His
angels to all directions, with a call of the trumpet of
realities and meanings, instructions and teachings!
Therefore, O people of the earth, appreciate the opportunity,
in this new century, wherein the lights have
been revealed by the Glorious Lord!”

In regard to the school which tho didst think of
and its organization: I ask God that thou shouldst
become confirmed in it with all order and command.
But now it is necessary first to organize the Cause of
God in those countries; then, order and preparation.
Therefore arise, through a power from God, in organizing
the Cause of God—that is, the diffusion of the
fragrances of God, promotion of the Word of God
and heralding unto the nations and peoples with a pre-existent
power the appearance of the Most Great Sun.
