53: VERILY, 'ABDU'L-BAHA INHALETH THE FRAGRANCE OF THE ...

Verily, 'Abdu'l-Baha inhaleth the fragrance of the love of God from every

meeting place where the Word of God is uttered and proofs and arguments

set forth that shed their rays across the world, and where they recount

the tribulations of 'Abdu'l-Baha at the evil hands of those who have

violated the Covenant of God.

O handmaid of the Lord! Speak thou no word of politics; thy task

concerneth the life of the soul, for this verily leadeth to man's joy in

the world of God. Except to speak well of them, make thou no mention of

the earth's kings, and the worldly governments thereof. Rather, confine

thine utterance to spreading the blissful tidings of the Kingdom of God,

and demonstrating the influence of the Word of God, and the holiness of

the Cause of God. Tell thou of abiding joy and spiritual delights, and

godlike qualities, and of how the Sun of Truth hath risen above the

earth's horizons: tell of the blowing of the spirit of life into the body

of the world.
