18: O THOU POSSESSOR OF A SEEING HEART! ALTHOUGH, ...

O thou possessor of a seeing heart! Although, materially speaking, thou

art deprived of physical sight, yet, praise be to God, spiritual insight

is thine. Thy heart seeth and thy spirit heareth. Bodily sight is subject

to a thousand maladies and assuredly will ultimately be lost. Thus no

importance should be attached to it. But the sight of the heart is

illumined. It discerneth and discovereth the divine Kingdom. It is

everlasting and eternal. Praise God, therefore, that the sight of thy

heart is illumined, and the hearing of thy mind responsive.

Each of the meetings ye have organized, wherein ye feel heavenly emotions

and comprehend realities and significances, is like unto the firmament,

and those souls are as resplendent stars shining with the light of

guidance.

Happy is the soul that seeketh, in this brilliant era, heavenly teachings,

and blessed is the heart which is stirred and attracted by the love of

God.
