GOD LOVETH THOSE WHO WORK IN GROUPS |
O ye friends of God! Today is the day of union and this age is
the age of harmony in the world of existence. “Verily, God loveth
those who are working in His path in groups, for they are a solid
foundation.” Consider ye that he says “in groups,” united and
bound together, supporting one another. “To work,” mentioned
in this holy verse, does not mean, in this greatest age, to perform
it with swords, spears, shafts and arrows, but rather with sincere
intentions, good designs, useful advices, divine moralities, beautiful
actions, spiritual qualities, educating the public, guiding the souls
of mankind, diffusing spiritual fragrances, explaining divine illustrations,
showing convincing proofs and doing charitable deeds.
When the holy souls, through the angelic power, will arise to show
forth these celestial characteristics, establishing a band of harmony,
each of these souls shall be regarded as one thousand persons and
the waves of this greatest ocean shall be considered as the army of
the hosts of the Supreme Concourse.

What a great blessing it is when the torrents, streams, currents,
tides, and drops are all gathered in one place! They will form a
great ocean and the real harmony shall overcome and reign in such
a manner that all the rules, laws, distinctions and differences of the
imaginations of these souls shall disappear and vanish like little
drops and shall be submerged in the ocean of spiritual unity. By
the Ancient Beauty, in this case and condition, the blessings of the
great ocean will overflow and canals shall become as spacious as an
endless ocean and each drop shall become as a boundless sea!

O ye friends of God! Strive to attain to this high and sublime
station and show forth such a brightness in these days that its
radiance may appear from the eternal horizons. This is the real
foundation of the Cause of God; this is the essence of the divine
doctrine; this is the cause of the revelation of the heavenly Scriptures;
this is the means of the appearance of the Sun of the divine
world; this is the way of the establishment of God upon the bodily
throne.
