O thou friend! Be not sorrowful because of my imprisonment and lament not for my difficulties; nay, rather ask God to increase my hardship in His path, for therein lies a wisdom which none are able to comprehend save the near angels. (333:3) O thou friend! Verily, those among the friends who were martyred in the path of God-- verily this is a favor from God which He bestoweth upon whomsoever He chooses; verily God is the most bountiful!-- they attained what the holy ones in the Supreme Kingdom yearned for, and quaffed the wine of grace from the bountiful hand of thy Lord the Merciful-- may my spirit be a sacrifice to them!
(333:4)
