Glorified
art Thou, O my God! Thou knowest that my sole aim in revealing Thy Cause hath
been to reveal Thee and not my self, and to manifest Thy glory rather than my
glory. In Thy path, and to attain Thy pleasure, I have scorned rest, joy,
delight. At all times and under all conditions my gaze hath been fixed on Thy
precepts, and mine eyes bent upon the things Thou hast bidden me observe in Thy
Tablets. I have wakened every morning to the light of Thy
praise and Thy remembrance, and reached every evening inhaling the fragrances
of Thy mercy.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Prayers and Meditations of Baha’u’llah’)
