Tablets of Abdul-Baha Abbas
Volume III
Praise be to God! that you have found eternal life from among the dead; that is, you have hear[d] the call of the divine Kingdom, are attracted to the Heavenly Countenance and have turned your faces toward the Center of the Light of Truth. I hope that you continue to be a living, eternal light!
O thou Glorious Lord!1
Make thou this little maid-servant a brilliant-starred daughter of the Kingdom; endear her in the Threshold of Oneness and overflow her with the cup of Thy love, in order that she may raise the cries of joy and ecstasy and mix ambergris with musk.2
Verily, Thou art the Powerful and the Mighty, and Thou art the Wise, the Seer!
O thou plant of the Garden of the Love of God!
Thy letter was received. Its content was of utmost grace and sweetness. As thou hast turned thy face toward the Supreme Kingdom, I hope thy disposition and nature will prove agreeable and comforting to thy brother and sister.
Although thou art small, yet I hope thou wilt become great in the Kingdom. His Highness Christ, sayeth: “Happy is the condition of the children!” God willing, thou art one of those children.
Be obedient and kind to thy father and mother, caressing brother and sister, and day by day adding to thy faith and assurance.
