“O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of God!…” |
|
Consider not thy capacity and merit, nay rather consider
the grace of thy Lord, the Clement, the Merciful.
Verily, thy Lord confirmeth whomsoever He willeth of
His servants, through the glad-tidings of the Kingdom,
the signals of clemency and the spiritual fragrances.
forsake every commemoration and thought in
the cell of oblivion (i.e., forget everything) and confine
thy days and time in preaching the Kingdom of
God, spreading the teachings of God and igniting the
lights of guidance in the hearts which are awaiting the
Kingdom of God. Truly, I say unto thee, to be engaged
in diffusing the fragrance of God (teaching the
Truth) for one hour of time is better than the dominion
of the world and all therein; for the latter is mortal
and temporary, while the former is permanent and

endless. This is the day of Life, the day of Salvation
and the day of Bestowal; it is not the day of death,
unless it be martyrdom in the path of God, or embracing
the cross in the love of God.
