Thy last letter, sent by Mirza ... , hath arrived. It is not a very long time since I wrote thee a letter in which I said how contented I was with thee and I explained to thee the importance of thy visit to India and showed thee the results and the fruits of that visit. (656:1) At this moment hath arrived a letter in which thou hast praised the believers of Rangoon, especially Seyed ... , Mirza ... , Mirza ... and Khai Khosroe who sacrificed his life for thine; yea, this is the truth! Consider what a difference exists between his country and thine and what a great effect this Bahai spirit hath manifested that an Oriental sacrificeth his life for an Occidental! What attraction, what love, what relationship is this! Blessed are those who are able to arrive at an understanding of the reality of the power of this love I Concerning Mr. ... , one of the Hindus of whom thou hast written: Say to him, "To me thou art not a stranger, but a friend; thou art not unknown, but known."
(656:2)
