> The Universal House of Justice has received your email query of 23
> February 2000 seeking to identify the source of a passage attributed to
> 'Abdu'l-Bahá, which appeared in the "Healing Through Unity" newsletter,
> for possible use in your thesis, and referred it to our Department for
> reply.
> 
> The passage is taken from an unpublished authorized translation of a
> Tablet of 'Abdu'l-Bahá. We reproduce below the entire text of the
> translation, and hope that it will be of assistance to you in your

> O ye beloved friends of God and handmaids of the Merciful!
> 
> Call ye to mind the blessed Name of our peerless Beloved, the Abha
> Beauty, in an uplifting spirit of unbounded ecstasy and delight, then
> unloose your tongues in His praise in such wise that the realm of the
> heart may be purged from the woes and sorrows of the world of water and
> clay, that the great heights of spiritual perception may be unveiled
> before your eyes, that the glorious signs of His Divine Unity may shine
> resplendent, a fresh outpouring of His grace may stream forth, and a
> liberal effusion of celestial confirmations may be vouchsafed unto you.
> 
> His Name is indeed the healing medicine for every illness, and imparteth
> warmth unto those starving with cold. It is the sovereign remedy and the
> supreme talisman. It is the source of life in both worlds, and of
> salvation unto such as have gone astray. Today this hallowed Name
> serveth as a shield for all mankind, and as a veritable refuge for the
> children of men. It is the wondrous accent of the Lord of Mercy, and His
> celestial melody.
> 
> Wherefore, O faithful friends, raise ye the triumphal cry of Ya
> Baha'u'l-Abha! O ye who yearn after the Beauty of the Almighty! Lift up
> your faces toward the Supreme Horizon. Rest not, even for a moment.
> Breathe not a single breath save in remembrance of His love and in
> recognition of His grace, in the promulgation of His Utterances and the
> vindication of His Testimonies.
> 
> Verily, this is the Magnet of divine confirmations. This is the mighty
> Force which will surely attract heavenly assistance.
