As to that great Sun which thou sawest in a dream: That is
His Holiness the Promised One and the lights thereof are His bounties. The
surface of the water is transparent body—that is, pure hearts. Its waves are
the moving of the hearts, the cheering of the souls—that is, spiritual feelings
and merciful sentiments. Thank thou God for that thou hast had such a revelation
in the world of dreams.
