“O thou spiritual friend!…” |
Night and day confine thy time to the education of
the world of humanity. Arise to guide the creatures
and spend time in promulgating the teachings of His
Holiness Baha’o’llah, so that lives may find glad-tidings,
hearts gladness, the souls eternal life and the
minds extraordinary advancement.

In respect to the Mashrak-el-Azcar: Brevity must
now be observed; that is, as much as possible endeavor
should be made so that by the assistance of all the
friends and the sincerity of your intentions it may become
instituted and built in Chicago even though it
be not possible to build a most solid, lofty and great
(edifice). Whatever is now possible should be erected.

And the question of giving the glad-tidings (i.e.,
teachings of this religion) should be given moment.
The holy souls who are free from the ties of this mortal
world and attain the confirmation of the Holy Spirit,
although they live on earth, yet, verily, they are heavenly,
illuminated, spiritual, divine. Such souls must
appear and engage, with simplicity, freedom and purity,
in training the public and in guiding all people. If
such souls arise, the Holy Spirit will aid them, the hosts
of the heavenly angels will render them victorious, the
bounties of the Kingdom of Abha will surround them,
the ray of the Sun of Truth will shine, the breezes of
the Paradise of Abha will give spirit, the ocean of
favors will boil and the good scent of the fragrances
of holiness will perfume the nostrils of the inhabitants
of the world.
