Though thy letter was brief in words, it was ample in significance. It indicated that thy heart is illumined, thine inner sight is open and thine ear of understanding is familiar with the mystery. This is a gift from God, the Independent. (126:1) Thine expression of kindness to Miss ... is very acceptable. Be thou kind to all on the earth, a care-taker (or helper) to every sick person, an open treasure to every indigent one; offer thou salutary water to the athirst; bestow the bread (or food) of life upon the hungered; console thou the helpless, exhort the ignorant and seek forgiveness for the sinner. (126:2) If, hereafter, thou mayest write a letter to Miss ... , deliver unto her this my message : (126:3) "O Miss ... I The Tree of Life is full of blossoms, leaves and fruits!-- the shade thereof is a peace to the soul and a rest to the consciousness. Whosoever is under this Tree will certainly partake of fruit. But shade trees are many in the forest, which, though fresh and verdant, are, nevertheless, fruitless. This truth shall finally become clear and manifest unto thee." (126:4) Kiss thou the face and hair of Ruhu'llah on my behalf.
(126:5)
