“O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God!…”
|
O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God!
|
Verily I am in receipt of thy last letter which indicateth
thy exceeding love for Abdul-Baha, thy confidence
525
in God, and thy good and sincere intention in
the service of the Cause of God.
|
Excellent is the statement given by thee in that precious
letter—that ye are in need of love and affinity in
that country to unite the hearts and spirits.
|
This is the truth and there is naught beyond the
truth save error. Know thou assuredly that—
|
Love is the mystery of divine revelations!
|
Love is the effulgent manifestation!
|
Love is the spiritual fulfillment!
|
Love is the breath of the Holy Spirit inspired into
the human spirit!
|
Love is the cause of the manifestation of the Truth
(God) in the phenomenal world!
|
Love is the necessary tie proceeding from the realities
of things through divine creation!
|
Love is the means of the most great happiness in
both the material and spiritual worlds!
|
Love is a light of guidance in the dark night!
|
Love is the bond between the Creator and the creature
in the inner world!
|
Love is the cause of development to every enlightened
man!
|
Love is the greatest law in this vast universe of God!
|
Love is the one law which causeth and controleth
order among the existing atoms!
|
Love is the universal magnetic power between the
planets and stars shining in the loft firmament!

|
Love is the cause of unfoldment to a searching mind,
of the secrets deposited in the universe by the Infinite!
|
Love is the spirit of life in the bountiful body of
the world!
|
Love is the cause of the civilization of nations in
this mortal world!
|
Love is the highest honor to every righteous nation!
|
The people who are confirmed therein are indeed glorified
by the Supreme Concourse, the angels of heaven
and the dwellers of the Kingdom of El-Abha! But
if the hearts of the people become devoid of the Divine
Grace—the Love of God—they wander in the desert
of ignorance, descend to the depths of ruin and fall to
the abyss of despair where there is no refuge! They
are like insects living in the lowest plane.
|
O beloved of God! Be ye the manifestations of
God and the lamps of guidance throughout all regions
shining with the light of love and union!
|
How beautiful the effulgence of this light!
|
O my friend! Let this letter be spread among the
beloved in America, that they may agree, unite and
love one another; nay, rather that they should love all
the people, and (be willing to) sacrifice even their
lives for one another.
|
This is the Path of El-Baha!
|
This is the Religion of El-Baha!
|
This is the Law of El-Baha!
|
He who hath not this hath no portion with El-Baha!
