Assuredly there is between Our hands a message from the Letter Qáf who hath 1 journeyed beyond himself and emigrated toward God, the Help in Peril, the Self Subsisting. He hath reached unto the Region of Holiness and entered the Copt of Certitude by way of a station in which the Fire of God beyond the Veils of Light hath been set ablaze, and the Flame of Oneness in a glorious and eminent lamp hath been enkindled. By such means those who hath emigrated from their homes for the love of God hath exceeded those who hath never set their faces toward the Shore of Holiness near the City which hath been encompassed by those who are nigh unto Him. He hath enquired in his letter about mysteries which no soul in the whole dominion hath ever grasped, neither hath its countenance been unmasked by anyone in the whole dominion, nor hath those who possess knowledge ever attained unto it. Wherefore, hearken unto that which the Herald of the Spirit beckoneth unto thee in this Blessed Spot beyond which the Gulf of the Spirit is overflowing in tumultuous waves.
