O thou servant of God! Thy letter was received. Its contents were lofty
and sublime, and its aim high and far-reaching. The world of humanity is
in need of great improvement, for it is a material jungle wherein trees
without fruit flourish and useless weeds abound. If at all there is a tree
that beareth fruit it is overshadowed by the fruitless ones, and if a
flower groweth in this jungle it is hidden and concealed. The world of
mankind is in need of expert gardeners who may convert these forests into
delectable rose gardens, may substitute for these barren trees ones that
yield fruit, and may replace these useless weeds with roses and fragrant
herbs. Thus active souls and vigilant people rest neither by day nor by
night; they strive to be closely linked to the divine Kingdom and thereby
become the manifestations of infinite bounty and ideal gardeners for these
forests. Thus the world of humanity will be wholly transformed and the
merciful bounties become manifest.
