I pray Thee, O Thou Who causest the dawn to appear, by Thy
Name through Which Thou hast subjected the winds, and sent down Thy Tablets,
that Thou wilt grant that we may draw near unto what Thou didst destine for us
by Thy favor and bounty, and to be far removed from whatsoever may be repugnant
unto Thee. Give us, then, to drink from the hands of Thy grace every day and
every moment of our lives of the waters that are life indeed, O Thou Who art
the Most Merciful! …Write down, then, for us the recompense ordained for him
that hath attained Thy presence, and gazed on Thy beauty, and supply us with
every good thing ordained in Thy Book for such of Thy creatures as enjoy near
access to Thee.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Prayers and Meditations of Baha’u’llah’)
