“O thou candle of the Love of God!…” |
What thou hast written was considered. The contents
were spiritual and the sentiments merciful. Praise
be to God! that thou art attracted to the Beauty of
Abha and severed from the world. Thy face hast
glowed like unto fire and thou hast consumed the veils
of superstitions. Thou hast opened thine eyes to the
Sun of Truth and inhaled the fragrant odor from the
garment of the divine Joseph. Thy mission now is this:
Travel as much as possible to different parts in America,
pass through cities and villages (or towns), guide all
to the Beauty of Abha and raise the call of the Kingdom
and say: “O greatest of glad-tidings, for the Sun
of Truth of the Beauty of Abha hath dawned from the
horizon
of the contingent world and illumined the regions
with the lights of the mightiest guidance! The
reality of the Pentateuch and the Gospel have become
manifest and the mysteries of the heavenly Books have
appeared! Now is the age of the Merciful One and the
time of joy and gladness! O ye heedless ones, be ye
conscious! O ye sleepers, be ye awake! O ye blind
ones, see! O ye deaf ones, hear! O ye dumb ones,
speak! O ye dead ones, be quickened! O ye destitute
ones, receive a portion and share! It is the irradiation
of the Merciful One and the moving of the boundless
sea! It is the bounty of the wonderful springtime and
719
the downpour of the rain of the gift of the Great
Lord!” This is thy mission.

Send greeting to the maid-servant fo God, Miss
….…., and say, “As the love of God hath the utmost
penetration in thy heart, the ring-stone bearing the
Greatest Name will take effect in thy heart like unto a
strong wine, for capacity is great and the power of the
wine is intense. Therefore, there wilt not remain any
power or resistance.”

When thou wert present at Acca, the seeds of the
love of God were sown in thy heart, through the power
of the Spirit. At that time they were not so much
manifest. Now that pure seed is growing more verdant
and refreshed, day by day, and becometh more manifest.
This is why thou findest thyself possessing more and
more spiritual sentiments.
