[Tablet of January 1903] |
Verily, I pray my Lord to teach thee a language and writing of
the Kingdom which will satisfy thee, so as to dispense with all things;
for that spiritual writing and instructive tongue are eloquent, clear,
22
laudable, legible, read by the tongue and preserved in the heart.
Blessed is he who knows it in the world of man!
|
The tree will grow, the earth will send forth hyacinths
1
and give
blessings, and man will become of the heavenly angels. Feed on the
light of guidance and impart light to the people. The bird will warble
melodies unknown save by the birds of heaven; then tear asunder the
veil and see the realities of things with the eye of God. Verily, thy
Lord guideth whomsoever He willeth unto the Straight Path!
|
The Promised Spot will be made a racecourse for the steeds of
the race of Knowledge and the lights of the Merciful will shine upon
it. The dispersed ones will return to the Center of Gathering and the
birds will return from the meadows of the world unto the Nest of
Harmony. This is a preordained matter.
|
As to thee: Thou hast borne every difficulty and hardship and
soon will be rewarded by God with a good reward. He will destine to
thee all that is good, and choose for thee the manifestation of His
mercy among the servants; that they may thus see that the Sons of
the Kingdom have gone out
2
, while there hath come a soul from the
remotest horizon who hath entered the Kingdom of God.
