O Thou kind Lord! . . . Thou hast invited the wandering birds to the rose garden of grace.
[The soul] is the first among all created things to declare the excellence of its Creator, the first to recognize His glory, to cleave to His truth, and to bow down in adoration before Him.
Know thou of a truth, that if the soul of any man hath walked in the ways of God, it will, assuredly, return and be gathered to the glory of the Beloved.
To consider that after the death of the body the spirit perishes is like imagining that a bird in a cage will be destroyed if the cage is broken, though the bird has nothing to fear from the destruction of the cage.
They that are the followers of the one true God, shall, the moment they depart out of this life, experience such joy and gladness as would be impossible to describe.
Blessed is the man that hath turned his face towards God, and walked steadfastly in His love, until his soul hath winged its flight unto God, the Sovereign Lord of all, the Most Powerful, the Ever-Forgiving, the All-Merciful.
O Thou Forgiver of Sins! Open Thou the way for this awakened soul to enter Thy Kingdom, and enable this bird, trained by Thy hand, to soar in the eternal rose garden.
