O ye who are attracted by the
Fragrances of God!
Verily I read your letters which
uttered your steadfastness in the Cause of God, your firmness in His Religion
and your joy by the breezes wafted from the garden of the Kingdom of God.
The truth, I say unto you, “Verily, the
Supreme Concourse utter praise upon you, because ye forsook the desires of
self, were illumined by the light of guidance, clothed yourselves with the
garment of sanctity and called in the Name of El-Abha among the people. Verily,
ye shall reap what ye sow and obtain the fruits of what ye plant. This is a
pre-ordained fact. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
