O Thou [‘Abdu’l-Baha] Who art the apple of Mine eye! My
glory, the ocean of My loving-kindness, the sun of My bounty, the heaven of My
mercy rest upon Thee. We pray God to illumine the world through Thy knowledge
and wisdom, to ordain for Thee that which will gladden Thine heart and impart
consolation to Thine eyes.
(Baha’u’llah, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The World
Order of Baha’u’llah’)
