O thou real friend! O Mr ...! Seek not a single minute of rest and do not keep still. Travel more and more in cities and villages. Bear the gladtidings and guide them. Strengthen the beloved (i. e., believers) and open the eye of perception of the strangers (those who do not believe). (423:2) As to chanting supplications in the Oriental tune, this is very agreeable. His honor ..must exert his endeavors in this matter. (423:3) In reality the friends of God are always present in my society and are associated with the friends of God in the Sacred Spot; even though they be in the remotest lands of the earth. (423:4) O thou real friend! Such entertainments are always necessary, for they cause the increase of love, unity and harmony in the friends of God. Bring about (such entertainments) by all means. (423:5) Praise be to God! upon thy departure from Acca, thou hast been assisted and rendered successful in serving the Kingdom of God. Accordingly, thou must offer the utmost thanks to the Threshold of Oneness, for this, thy journey, was fruitful and this peregrination became the cause of discovering the mysteries of the Lord of Glory.
(423:6)
