Japan Will Turn Ablaze! | Page 5

day by day and shed its light to all
parts. Therefore, if thou travelest toward Japan unquestionably Divine
confirmations shall descend upon thee.
Convey the utmost kindness to Mrs. ... on my behalf and say: The
doors of the Kingdom of God are open, the Call of the Lord of the
Kingdom is raised, the Bestowals of the Almighty are endless and the
effulgence of the Sun of Reality has illumined the East and the West. In
such a time patience and tranquility are not allowable. Thou must
engage with infinite joy and happiness in the mention of the Forgiving
Lord.

[Tablet of August 4, 1914]

O thou my dear daughter!
Thy letter was received. It imparted great happiness. Praise be to God
that that dear daughter is sacrificing herself in the path of Bahá'u'lláh
and enduring every difficulty.
It is now more advisable for thee to depart directly to Japan and while
there be engaged in the diffusion of the fragrances of God. From there
thou mayest return to India and from India to the Holy Land.
Today the greatest of all divine bestowals is teaching the Cause of God
for it is fraught with confirmations. Every teacher is confirmed and is
favored at the Divine Threshold. In the estimation of the Ideal King, the
army which is in the front of the battlefield is encircled with the
glances of His mercifulness and in the sight of the Divine Farmer, the
sower of the seed is accepted and favored.
I hope that thou mayest be like unto a realm conquering army and a
farmer, therefore thy voyage to Japan is preferred to everything else.
Still thou are perfectly free.

Switzerland, August 22, 1914)

[Tablet Translated October 27, 1916]
O thou heavenly daughter!
Thy letter through Mr. Hannen was received from Japan; likewise the
letters of Mr. Fukuta. The contents of both letters imparted exceeding
joy, for each word was an eloquent tongue explaining the wonders of
the Love of God and elucidating the story of the attraction of the heart
with the Breaths of the Holy Spirit.
Praise be to God that thou hast become assisted to promulgate the
Word of God in Japan. Ere long this circle in Japan will be enlarged
obtaining heavenly blessings.

God says in the glorious Qur'an: "A seed, growing out of it seven ears,
and God is able to double this for whomsoever He willeth." This verse
means: Whenever the Word of Truth is proclaimed, it is like unto a
seed, which sown in a pure soil brings forth seven ears and every ear
produces one hundred kernels, and God says again that for whomsoever
He desireth, He will double this number, that is, He will make the
seven hundred kernels fourteen hundred.
Now I hope that thy call in Japan may be like unto that seed, so that it
may obtain heavenly blessing and benediction, and the souls be
educated and taught the oneness and singleness of God, the truthfulness
of the prophets and the usefulness of the Divine Teachings.
An answer is written to the letters of Mr. Fukuta and forwarded.
Present it to him.

[Tablet Translated October 30, 1916]
O thou daughter of the Kingdom!
Thy letter dated July 15, 1916 was received. Its contents indicated that
thou hast organized a meeting in Japan. Consider thou what a great
favor God hast bestowed that such spiritual meetings are being held in
Tokyo and such heavenly gifts are being distributed.
God says in the Qur'an: "The example of the people of faith is like unto
a field which obtains freshness and verdancy from the rain descending
from the clouds, attaining to full fruition and finding the blessings of
the Kingdom. There is no doubt that day by day it will grow and
develop and in the end the ears of the sheaves will be laden with God's
benediction bringing forth one hundred fold."
Now, ye are the fields of the plain of Reality and are under the
protection of the educative rays of the Sun of Truth. At every moment

ye obtain a new vitality from the rain of divine bestowals and ere long
ye will produce full grown seeds which are blessed by the care and
attention of the Divine Farmer. There is no doubt that such will be the
end.
Convey on my behalf the utmost longing and greeting to the friends
residing in Tokyo as well as the recently arrived travelers and say to
them: All the individuals of humanity are farmers. Every soul sows a
certain kind of
