The Baha’i Faith’s “Gems of Divine Mysteries”: Paragraphs 1-13

The essence of the divine mysteries in the journeys of ascent set forth for those who long to draw night unto God, the Almighty, the Ever-Forgiving-blessed be the righteous that quaff from these crystal streams! Thine epistle was received, thy question was noted, and the sweet accents of thy soul were heard from the inmost chambers of thy heart. Whereupon the clouds of the Divine Will were raised to rain upon thee the outpourings of heavenly wisdom, to divest thee of all that thou hadst acquired aforetime, to draw thee from the realms of contradiction unto the retreats of oneness, and to lead thee to the sacred streams of His Law.
