Consequently, O thou maid-servant of God, go unto the maid-servants of the Merciful One and tell them from the tongue of Abdul-Baha: "O maid-servants of the Merciful! It is incumbent upon you to train the children from their earliest babyhood! It is incumbent upon you to beautify their morals! It is incumbent upon you to attend to them under all aspects and circumstances, inasmuch as God-- glorified and exalted is He! hath ordained mothers to be the primary trainers of children and infants. This is a great and important affair and a high and exalted position, and it is not allowable to slacken therein at all" (606:1) If thou walkest in this right path, thou wouldst become a real mother to the children, both spiritually and materially. I beg of God to make thee severed from this world, attracted to the fragrances of sanctity which are being diffused from the garden of the Kingdom of El-ABHA, and a servant of the Cause of God ,in the vineyard of God. (606:2) Greeting and high respects to the maid-servant of God Miss ... , who is attracted, enkindled, hath spoken and called out, and hath stripped herself from the garment of dependence of this mortal world and its , concerns and is clothed with the embroidered garments ; of separation (from the world) in this great Paradise.
(606:3)
