He Is God!
O ye believers who are attracted to the Center of Lights!
Verily there have been various assemblies in America which
were organized many times and out of these but few remained firm.
I supplicate to the Divine Majesty for the establishment of
every assembly which hath turned its face towards God, left the scattered
desires, abandoned the self and passion and become firm in the Cause of God as
solid mountains, which are not agitated by the winds and violent storms.
Then, O ye maid-servants of the Merciful, it is incumbent
upon ye to be firm, sincere and highly energetic and in great unity; severed
from all save God; effaced and annihilated in the love of God; sacrificing
yourselves under all conditions and circumstances; and glorious, so that ye may
be filled with the love of Bahá and that in ye nothing remains except the
abundance of Bahá. Should ye arise for
these great gifts, ye may rest assured that the confirmations of the Holy Spirit
will follow ye in every time and instant.
Upon ye be Bahá'u'l-Abhá!
