Say: O God, my God! Thou beholdest me circling round Thy
Will with mine eyes turned towards the horizon of Thy bounty, eagerly awaiting
the revelation of the effulgent splendours of the sun of Thy favours. I beg of
Thee, O Beloved of every understanding heart and the Desire of such as have
near access unto Thee, to grant that Thy loved ones may become wholly detached
from their own inclinations, holding fast unto that which pleaseth Thee. Attire
them, O Lord, with the robe of righteousness and illumine them with the
splendours of the light of detachment. Summon then to their assistance the
hosts of wisdom and utterance that they may exalt Thy Word amongst Thy
creatures and proclaim Thy Cause amidst Thy servants. Verily, potent art Thou
to do what Thou willest, and within Thy grasp lie the reins of all affairs. No
God is there but Thee, the Mighty, the Ever-Forgiving.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Tablets
of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
