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 Abhá. 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-Bahá, 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.
Selections from the Writings of `Abdu'l-Bahá
