“O thou who art attracted to the “Spirit of Truth!”…” |
Know thou, verily, the Spirit hath indeed so surrounded
my limbs that it moveth them as it willeth and
my tongue uttereth the most wonderful speeches and
most sweet words while addressing thee, so that thou
mayest be moved by these holy fragrances which perfume
all regions and be dilated with joy by this address
which is raised from my abundant love for thee and my
excessive kindness and great affection unto thee.

O maid-servant of God! Verily, the Holy Spirit
breathes, in this day, unto the hearts which are moving,
beating, pure and attracted by the love of God.

O maid-servant of God! By God the True One, verily,
the crown of mighty gift is suspended betwixt heaven
and earth and the angels of holiness are awaiting a lofty
head which may be worthy of this great bestowal, so
that it may descend upon that head, that it may wear
that glorious crown, the most precious gems of which
illumine the eyes of all the world.

O maid-servant of God! Many spiritual women
came (into the world) and passed away in vain; no
sound is heard of them and no trace is seen of them,
inasmuch as their spirits were not dependent upon the
Holy Spirit, nor were they attracted to the fragrances
of truth; nor were they ever baptized by the water of
life, by the fire of the love of God, nor by the “Spirit
of Truth” which speaketh in the assemblies of the Kingdom
and breatheth upon spirits the breezes which waft
an eternal glory, the signs of which are everlasting.
