O maid-servant of God, who art
supplicating unto the Sublime Kingdom! Grieve
not at the divine trials. Be not troubled because of hardships and ordeals;
turn unto God, bowing in humbleness and praying to Him, while bearing every
ordeal, contented under all conditions and thankful in every difficulty. Verily
thy Lord loveth His maid-servants who are patient, believing and firm. He draws
them nigh unto Him through these ordeals and trials.
Be not sorrowful on account of the
departure of thy good son. He hath indeed departed from this narrow and gloomy
world which is darkened by unlimited sorrow, unto the Kingdom which is
spacious, illumined, joyous and beautiful. God delivered him from this dark
well and promoted him unto the Supreme Height! He gave him wings whereby he
soared to the heaven of happiness. Verily this is the great mercy from Him who
is precious and forgiving. (‘Abdu'l-Baha,
Tablets of ‘Abdu'l-Baha vol. 1)
