Tablets of Abdul-Baha Abbas
Volume III
Lord, enlighten my sight by beholding Thy lights in this dark night, and make me happy by the wine of Thy love in this wonderful age! O Lord, make me hear Thy call, and open before my face the doors of Thy heaven, so that I may see the light of Thy glory (
Baha) and become attracted to Thy beauty!
“Verily, thou art the Giver, the Generous, the Merciful, the Forgiving!”
At that time such signs will appear which will guide thee to the Kingdom of Thy Lord, the Merciful.
The babe dressed in the white garment that gave thee the jessamine is a fragrance of the fragrances of God, reared through His love, a sign of His signs and a breeze of His breezes. It hath a wonderful power and there shall be for it astonishing states to the minds and spirits. Understand what I say to thee through the best of symbols.
O thou maid-servant of God!
Thy writing was considered. Thank God that thou wert fed from the table which hath descended from heaven. That food is the “I am the bread which descended from heaven,” recorded in the
Gospel. That is faith, certainty, love and knowledge. I ask God that, day by day, thy steps may progress, that thou mayest grow firmer in the love of God; that unto thee and thy kindred a blessing of God shall come, and that thou mayest remain protected and sheltered under all conditions. Thus, may thy weakness be changed to strength and thy inability to power.
