And now concerning thy question
regarding the soul of man and its survival after death. Know thou of a truth
that the soul, after its separation from the body, will continue to progress
until it attaineth the presence of God, in a state and condition which neither
the revolution of ages and centuries, nor the changes and chances of this
world, can alter. It will endure as long as the Kingdom of God, His
sovereignty, His dominion and power will endure. It will manifest the signs of
God and His attributes, and will reveal His loving kindness and bounty. The
movement of My Pen is stilled when it attempteth to befittingly describe the
loftiness and glory of so exalted a station. The honor with which the Hand of
Mercy will invest the soul is such as no tongue can adequately reveal, nor any
other earthly agency describe. Blessed is the soul which, at the hour of its
separation from the body, is sanctified from the vain imaginings of the peoples
of the world. Such a soul liveth and moveth in accordance with the Will of its
Creator, and entereth the all-highest Paradise.
