“O thou dear and honorable!…” 454 |
I received thy last letter through his honor ….….
and its contents imparted to me spiritual joy, for it
indicated the high and good friendship between thee
and the respectful maid-servant of God, ….….. I
supplicate God to increase at every moment and second
your faith, assurance, steadfastness and your knowledge,
and likewise to create spiritual friendship and
celestial love among the friends, in order that they
may become a unit host and enlisted soldiers (of the
Kingdom of God) with accomplishment, skillfulness,
solidarity, fellowship and unison.

Convey my greeting to ….…. and say to her:
“Verily the teachings which flowed from the lips of
His Highness Christ were spiritual, celestial, heavenly
and the cause of the eternal life; therefore it is explained
as heavenly food and the divine table. But
the philosophers who were the greatest sages of the
world at that time could not realize the power of the
teachings of Christ and these very philosophers were
veiled from the Spirit of Christ and did not acknowledge
His instructions, for their imaginations did not
correspond with the apprehensions of their intellects.
O what remorse is their lot by losing this Great Cause!
Consequently, the teachings of Baha’ shall assuredly
breathe the spirit of peace, the love of God and divine
compassion in the hearts of men. These universal
455
results will become clear to those who cling to them
(teachings) after experience. As to thee, consider profoundly
these teachings in order that thou mayest apprehend
their realities.”
