[Message sent to
Bahá'ís in Stuttgart through Lady Bloomfield, Mrs Earle, Mírzá Asadu'lláh and
Mírzá Ahmad Sohráb.]
Rejoice! Rejoice! Because of the Glad-tidings! You
have attained to the light of the Kingdom. The glory of the Sun of Truth
penetrates all regions.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Glad-tidings I send unto you. The doors of the Kingdom are open. The heavenly
manna has descended upon you.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
There were many holy messengers sent into the world; they came after one
another, and all diffused the breath of the Holy Spirit.
Praise God! Praise
God! That you have turned your faces toward the Kingdom. The rays of the Sun of
Truth are illuminating you.
Strive with your
heart and soul that the Heavenly Light may descend upon all people and that
through it every heart may be enlightened and that the spirit of the human race
may partake of Its glory. Work and strive until all regions of the world are
bathed in this Light. Fear not when trouble overtakes you. You will be
criticized; you will be persecuted; you will be cursed and reviled. Recall in
those days what I tell you now: Your
triumph will be sure; your hearts will be filled with the Glory of God, for the
heavenly power will sustain you, and God will be with you. This is my message to you.
