Blessed is he that hath set himself towards Thee, and hasted
to attain the Day-Spring of the lights of Thy face. Blessed is he who with all
his affections hath turned to the Dawning-Place of Thy Revelation and the
Fountain-Head of Thine inspiration. Blessed is he that hath expended in Thy
path what Thou didst bestow upon him through Thy bounty and favor. Blessed is
he who, in his sore longing after Thee, hath cast away all else except Thyself.
Blessed is he who hath enjoyed intimate communion with Thee, and rid himself of
all attachment to any one save Thee.
(Baha’u’llah, Prayers and Meditations of
Baha’u’llah’)
