Should anyone in this day attach his heart to the Kingdom, release himself from all else save Go and become attracted to the fragrances of holiness, the army of the Kingdom of ABHA will help him and the angels of the Supreme Concourse will assist him. (591:1) Convey my respectful greeting to Mrs ... I sought for her protection and bounty from the Lord of the Kingdom. (591:2) Regarding the question of your presence in Acca now, it is not according to wisdom. Postpone this matter to some other time. (591:3) Thou hast written regarding the death of thy mother. Praise be to God, she hath attained to the desire of her heart and hath ascended to the Kingdom of ABHA! (591:4) Happiness dependeth on the spiritual glad-tidings and not upon material means. It is found in the Kingdom of ABHA and not in this mortal world. (591:5) O thou maid-servant of God! Become thou not extinguished by the winds of tests, but rather become ignited and be more happy, for then thou wilt become a tried believer. (591:6) Guide the maid-servant of God, Mrs. .., to the power of the Holy Spirit and say: "Unless the Holy Spirit become intermediary, one cannot attain directly to the bounties of God. Do not overlook the obvious truths, for it is a self-evident fact that a child cannot be instructed without a teacher, and knowledge is a bounty from the bounties of God. The soil is not covered with grass and green without the rain of the cloud; therefore the cloud is the intermediary between the divine bounties and the soil. A body doth not develop and grow without the soul; therefore the soul is the medium of the spiritual life."
(591:7)
