I ask God to make ye lamps ignited by the great Light, so that ye may stand with all power, meekness, humbleness, sacrifice and self-resignation and thus become examples for the people and pure types for the world, be salt of the earth, stars of guidance, great trees with broad foliage and excellent fruits of fragrant scent, growing by the bounty of the cloud of the Kingdom of El-Abha. (8:1) I praise God that ye were firm in faithfulness in that ye testified and acknowledged the efforts which Mirza Assad Ullah manifested in spreading the fragrances of God and that ye thanked him for his labor and teaching for you, and this is what gladdens the heart of Abdul-Baha. (8:2) Verily, I read thy favored letter and was glad (to learn of) the gathering of the friends of God in your spiritual assemblages and brilliant meetings. (8:3) 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.
(8:4)
