162: O YE DEAR FRIENDS OF 'ABDU'L-BAHA! AT ALL TIMES ...

O ye dear friends of 'Abdu'l-Baha! At all times do I await your good news,

longing as I do to hear that ye are making progress from day to day, and

are becoming ever more illumined by the light of guidance.

The blessings of Baha'u'llah are a shoreless sea, and even life

everlasting is only a dewdrop therefrom. The waves of that sea are

continually lapping against the hearts of the friends, and from those

waves there come intimations of the spirit and ardent pulsings of the

soul, until the heart giveth way, and willing or not, turneth humbly in

prayer unto the Kingdom of the Lord. Wherefore do all ye can to disengage

your inner selves, that ye may at every moment reflect new splendours from

the Sun of Truth.

Ye live, all of you, within the heart of 'Abdu'l-Baha, and with every

breath do I turn my face toward the Threshold of Oneness and call down

blessings upon you, each and all.
