Lauded
be Thy name, O my God! I am so carried away by the breezes blowing from Thy
presence that I have forgotten my self and all that I possess. This is but a
sign of the wonders of Thy grace and bountiful favors vouchsafed unto me. I
give praise to Thee, O my God, that Thou hast chosen me out of all Thy
creatures, and made me to be the Day-Spring of Thy strength and the
Manifestation of Thy might, and empowered me to reveal such of Thy signs and
such tokens of Thy majesty and power as none, whether in Thy heaven or on Thy
earth, can produce.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Prayers and Meditations of
Baha’u’llah’)
