Tablet of the Master `Abdul’-Bahá to Ustádh Muhammad Sádeq Salmáni

 By hand of his honour Qaabel [the one who is the

 recipient of the divine mercy], upon him be the glory

 of the Most Glorious One. To Kooshakak his honour,

 Ustádh Muhammad Sádeq Salmáni, his honour Karabalái

 Muhammad Salmáni, and the friends of God, upon them

 all be the Glory of the Most Glorious.

 He is God!

 O ye enkindled ones with the fire of the Divine

 Covenant!  One can in no wise imagine any

 tranquillity or real prosperity in this narrow region

 of earthly existence for it is oppressive,

 constricted, and laden with sorrows... 

 The world of real tranquillity is the world of the

 Kingdom of Him Who is the Lord of All Creation. 

 It is that which has true expansion the dominion of

 generosity, of bounty, and of liberal grace.  Thou

 shalt always be veiled of the lights of those

 spiritual spheres as long as thou are beholden to

 this world of dust.  And thou shalt ever remain

 oblivious and negligent of the Sublime World as long

 as thine heart is attached to the terrestrial realm. 

 So ye should utterly focus your eyes unto the other

 world, of matchless glory, and ye must needs obtain

 attachment to that other realm.  In this wise all

 your days will be past in joy upon joy and at all

 times ye will be surrounded by joy of spirit and

 conscience.  This is the counsel of ‘Abdu’l-Baha. 

 AA.
