Consequently, O thou maid-servant of God, go unto the maid-servants of the Merciful one and tell them from the tongue of Abdul-Baha: “O maid-servants of the Merciful! It is incumbent upon you to train the children from their earliest babyhood! It is incumbent upon you to beautify their morals! It is incumbent upon you to attend to them under all aspects and circumstances, inasmuch as God—glorified and exalted is He! —hath ordained mothers to be the primary trainers of children and infants. This is a great and important affair and a high and exalted position, and it is not allowable to slacken therein at all!
If thou walkest in this right path, thou wouldst become a real mother to the children, both spiritually and materially. I beg of God to make thee severed from this world, attracted to the fragrances of sanctity which are being diffused from the garden of the Kingdom of El-Abha, and a servant of the Cause of God in the vineyard of God.
Greeting and high respects to the maid-servant of God Miss........., who is attracted, enkindled, hath spoken and called out, and hath stripped herself from the garment of dependence of this mortal world and its concerns and is clothed with the embroidered garments of separation (from the world) in this great Paradise.
“O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of God!...”
O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of God!
Know thou that some of the souls who arrive at this Blessed Spot possess hearing, seeing and smelling; they see what no eye hath ever seen, they hear the melodies of the Dove of Holiness on the Tree of Life, they inhale the fragrances of God from this Garden, and they surely realize that, verily, this Blessed Spot is a center for pure seeing and strong hearing and is the direction from which the breezes of the Holy Spirit blow.
But those who have neither seeing not hearing apprehend nothing and say what they understand not.
As to thee and thy daughter who is devoted to god, who presented herself, saw and heard: Know ye, verily, (one possessing) a pure insight is a servant to the people of Baha’, but only the prudent can understand this.
