Tablets of Abdul-Baha Abbas
Volume III
O thou maid-servant of God!
I ask from the favors of the Sun of Truth the splendors of the eternal outpouring for thee; I beg everlasting glory and desire for thee and thy family divine gifts, so that all of you may become united and harmonized, rest under the shade of the Tree of Life, and become eternal and established in the Kingdom of Being.
O thou who art turning toward the Kingdom of God!
I was informed of the contents of thy excellent letter and supplicated the Holy Threshold, the Circuit of the
Supreme Concourse, to baptize thee with the water of knowledge and the fire of the love of God and to make thee a perfect and faithful servant in His Great Vineyard, so that thou mayest water the trees of the love of God in the
Paradise of
Abha; and to make thee a sign of meekness and humbleness among the maid-servants of God and a promulgator of His Cause in those vast and extensive regions.
O thou pure soul1 who hath turned with a submissive heart to the Kingdom of God!
Turn thy face to the Assembly of the
Covenant and [hear him] say: “Salutations and praise be upon you, the fragrances of God be upon you! for that by reason of which ye have awakened from your sleep, arisen from your negligence and heedlessness, aroused from your couches, relied upon your Creator, depended upon your Maker and been kindled with the fire burning in the Spirit on Mt.
Sinai and in the Heart of Mt.
Paran
