Steadfastness in the Cause is mentioned in the Tablets and set forth by
the Pen of the Ancient of Days. Render thanks to the Beloved of the world that
thou hast set thy heart on Him and art uttering His praise. Many a man hath in
this day been deprived of making mention of the All-Sufficing Lord and of
recognizing His truth; and many a woman hath fixed her gaze upon the Horizon of
the Most High, and hath adorned herself with the garb of the love of the Desire
of the world. This is God’s grace which He bestoweth upon whomsoever He
pleaseth. By the Day-Star of ancient mysteries! The sweet-scented fragrance
of every breath breathed in the love of God is wafted in the court of the
presence of the Lord of Revelation. The reward of no good deed is or ever will
be lost. Blessed art thou, doubly blessed art thou! Thou art reckoned amongst
those handmaidens whose love for their kin hath not prevented them from
attaining the shores of the Sea of Grace and Mercy. God willing, thou shalt
rest eternally neath the shade of the favours of the All-Merciful and shalt be
assured of His bounties. Engage in the praise of the True One and rejoice in
His loving-kindness.
