He is God!
O Jenabe Amin!
Although the doors are closed, the ways and the roads are severed and the means of communication are lost, yet the ideal ties and inner communications still exist. Though the mirror and the lights are far apart, yet the uniting force of the rays and the outpouring of reflections are strong and continuous.
The friends of God must move and conduct themselves with the utmost uprightness and power, so that all that are in the world of existence may become amazed at their firmness and steadfastness, their dignity and might.
This servant day and night is thinking of the friends in the utmost joy and fragrance, supplicating to His Holiness, The Merciful, for unlimited confirmations, so that every drop may become like unto the ocean, full of waves, and every atom expand in the rays of the sun. This is not much to ask of the favor of God.
Convey the utmost longing to every one of the friends. Praise be to God! through the assistance and the bounty of His Holiness, the Single, we are in perfect health on Mount Carmel, at the home of his honor, Aqa Abbas Quli. On account of the severance of communication, to inquire about the friends and convey news of the safety here, his honor, Haji Ramazan is sent, because no one else is able to travel this road in these days.
