“Intone, O My servant, the verses of God…”

Intone, O My servant, the verses of God that have been received by thee,as intoned by them who have drawn nigh unto Him,that the sweetness of thy melody may kindle thine own soul,and attract the hearts of all men. Whoso reciteth, in the privacy of his chamber,the verses revealed by God, the scattering angels of the Almightyshall scatter abroad the fragrance of the words uttered by his mouth,and shall cause the heart of every righteous man to throb.Though he may, at first, remain unaware of its effect, yet the virtueof the grace vouchsafed unto him must needs sooner or later exerciseits influence upon his soul. Thus have the mysteries of the Revelationof God been decreed by virtue of the Will of HimWho is the Source of power and wisdom.
