O Temple of the Cause!
Grieve not if Thou findest none ready to receive Thy gifts. Thou wast created for My sake; occupy Thyself
therefore with My praise amidst My servants.
This is that which hath been ordained for Thee in the Preserved
Tablet. Having found upon the earth many
a soiled hand, We sanctified the hem of Thy garment from the profanity of their
touch and placed it beyond the reach of the ungodly. Be patient in the Cause of Thy Lord, for
erelong shall He raise up souls endowed with sanctified hearts and illumined
eyes who shall flee from every quarter unto Thine all-encompassing and
boundless grace.
