O thou who hast sought illumination from the light of guidance! Praise
thou God that He hath directed thee to the light of truth and hath invited
thee to enter the Kingdom of Abha. Thy sight hath been illumined and thy
heart hath been turned into a rose garden. I pray for thee that thou
mayest ever grow in faith and assurance, shine like unto a torch in the
assemblies and bestow upon them the light of guidance.
Whenever an illumined assembly of the friends of God is gathered,
'Abdu'l-Baha, although bodily absent, is yet present in spirit and in
soul. I am always a traveller to America and am assuredly associating with
spiritual and illumined friends. Distance is annihilated and prevents not
the close and intimate association of two souls that are closely attached
in heart even though they may be in two different countries. I am
therefore thy close companion, attuned and in harmony with thy soul.
