Hold
Thou the hand of this seeker who hath set his face towards Thee, O my Lord, and
draw him out of the depths of his vain imaginations, that the light of
certainty may shine brightly above the horizon of his heart in the days whereon
the sun of the knowledge of Thy creatures hath been darkened through the
shining of the Day-Star of Thy glory; the days whereon the moon of the world’s
wisdom hath been eclipsed through the appearance of Thy hidden knowledge, and
the manifestation of Thy well-guarded secret, and the revelation of Thine
enshrined mystery; the days whereon the stars of men’s doings have fallen
through the rising of the orb of Thy unity and the shedding of the radiance of
Thy transcendent oneness.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Prayers and Meditations of
Baha’u’llah’)
