[Tablet Translated October 30, 1916] |
God says in the Qur’an: “The example of the people of faith is
like unto a field which obtains freshness and verdancy from the rain
descending from the clouds, attaining to full fruition and finding the
blessings of the Kingdom. There is no doubt that day by day it will
grow and develop and in the end the ears of the sheaves will be laden
with God’s benediction bringing forth one hundred fold.”
|
Now, ye are the fields of the plain of Reality and are under the
protection of the educative rays of the Sun of Truth. At every moment
ye obtain a new vitality from the rain of divine bestowals and
ere long ye will produce full grown seeds which are blessed by the
care and attention of the Divine Farmer. There is no doubt that such
will be the end.

Convey on my behalf the utmost longing and greeting to the
friends residing in Tokyo as well as the recently arrived travelers and
say to them: All the individuals of humanity are farmers. Every soul
sows a certain kind of seed, but at the season of the harvest there will
be gathered no result except the seeds which are sown by the believers
of God. That alone will obtain heavenly blessings. Reflect that
14
His Holiness Christ and His Holiness Muhammad scattered such holy
seeds the fruits of which are being gathered until now, but all the other
farmers were finally doomed to regret and disappointment.
