“O thou son of the Kingdom!…” |
Thy sweet letters with their interesting contents are
always conducive to the joy of the hearts. They are
like unto the melodies of the nightingale which imparteth
exultation to soul and mind. Thank thou God!
that thou hast gone to those parts
1
for the purpose of
spreading the Word of God and diffusing the holy fragrances
of the Kingdom of God and that thou art a gardener
in the divine orchard. Ere long, confirmation and
assistance shall environ thee.
|
O thou son of the Kingdom! If one possesses the
love of God, everything that he undertakes is useful,
but if the undertaking is without the love of God, then
it is hurtful and the cause fo veiling one’s self from
the Lord of the Kingdom. But with the love of God
every bitterness is changed into sweetness and every gift
becometh precious. For instance, a musical and melodious
voice imparteth life to an attracted heart but
lureth toward lust those souls who are engulfed in
passion and desire.
|
With the love of God all sciences are accepted and
beloved, but without it, are fruitless; nay, rather the
688
cause of insanity. Every science is like unto a tree; if
the fruit of it is the love of God, that is a blessed
tree. Otherwise it is dried wood and finally a food
for fire.
|
O thou sincere servant of the True One and the
spiritual physician of the people! Whenever thou presentest
thyself at the bed of a patient turn thy face
toward the Lord of the Kingdom and supplicate assistance
from the Holy Spirit and heal the ailments of
the sick one. I beg of God to bestow thee with an
eloquent tongue.
