O thou who art anticipating
the appearance of the Gift of God!
Verily, I read thy letter
which indicated that thou hast turned unto the Blessed Spot, that the Truth (of
God) hath revealed itself to thee, that thy fear is quieted and that thou hast
attained to composure, assuredly believing in this great Cause.
Know thou, verily, there
are many veils in which the Truth is enveloped: gloomy veils; then delicate and
transparent veils; then the envelopment of Light, the sight of which dazzles
the eyes, as doth the sun which is enveloped only in its own light and, as we look
at it, the sight is blinded and eyes are dazzled.
I beg of God to remove all
the veilings and familiarize the light with all eyes, so that man may not be
veiled from witnessing the Sun of Truth.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
