O thou whose heart hath been filled with love for the beauty
of God! I have perused thy gracious letter and intoned thy words that testify
to the intensity of thy love for God, to the strength of thine attachment to
His Cause, and to the greatness of thine attraction to His Kingdom; truly, this
befitteth such as thee. From this sublime retreat I greet thee, and bestow upon
thee praise and salutation. Distant as thou art in that far region, yet with my
heart’s eye do I see thee here before me, and with my spirit’s tongue do I
address thee, saying, “Happiness, all happiness is thine! Do thou announce unto
the beloved of God in those regions the joyful tidings of His Glory.” - 'Abdu'l-Baha (From a
Tablet; ‘Additional Tablets, Extracts and Talks’; Online Baha’i Reference Library,
