All beloveds, by God, magnify my greeting. Say, today, two matters are beloved and desired. One is wisdom and explanation, and the other is steadfastness in the command of your Lord, the Merciful. Every soul that embraces these two matters is deemed noble and mentioned in the sight of God, as among the inhabitants of the city. Consider, these two matters are divine ordinances established among the servants. If wisdom and explanation are not present, a soul will remain unguided by a single set of religious laws. And if steadfastness is absent, the remembering soul will not be effective. Say, O friends, fear and distress are the conditions of women. If the Divine lovers, in general, contemplate the world and its apparent differences, do not frighten them with the domination of the unjust, but let them fly with the wings of longing toward the radiance of horizons. This servant, what I have desired for myself, I have desired for all friends. And what has been decreed by wisdom and preservation, and what is intended thereby, is that the rememberers remain on the earth, so they may be occupied with the remembrance of the Lord of the worlds. Therefore, preserving one's own soul and the brethren for the sake of God is obligatory and necessary. And if the lovers are active, in accordance with what they are commanded, they are, for the most part, superior to others on earth, adorned with faith. Blessed is the soul that keeps itself for the divine law and indicates eternal life. This is among the greatest deeds in the sight of your Lord, the Mighty, the Exalted. May the Spirit be upon you, and the Splendor upon you.
