O thou seeker
after the knowledge of numbers!
Thy letter was received. The science of
numbers is one of the common sciences, but the aim of ‘Abdu’l-Baha is, that the
Heavenly Knowledge and Divine Wisdom encircle the world of existence.
Shouldst thou desire to become my pupil
thou must acquire the Mysteries of God and attain to the Knowledges and
Sciences of the Kingdom -- for they are the cause of the life of the world and
the salvation of humanity.
Upon thee be greeting and praise! (‘Abdu’l-Baha, Star
of the West, vol. 1, no. 6, June 24, 19100)
