O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of
God!
Verily I say unto thee the truth, that I am with you in
spirit and in heart, that I rejoice by your joy and am happy by your happiness;
and hear with the ear of spirit your calling and scent with the spiritual
nostrils the fragrances of your garden.
O ye friends of God! Arise from the corporeal beds (bodies)
and ask for the divine favors, so that ye become revived by the Holy Spirit
through the breath which the Spirit breathes into the souls.
By the glory of my Lord, there will be for your brilliant
assemblage an evident sign and great effects in the spirits and the hearts.
Therefore, gladden the friends of the Merciful with the glad-tidings of thy
Lord in this time, and convey to them greeting from ‘Abdu’l-Baha in this
promised century, so that they may arise with me in servitude to the Threshold
of El-Baha.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
