Lauded be Thy name, O my God! I entreat Thee by the
fragrances of the Raiment of Thy grace which at Thy bidding and in conformity
with Thy desire were diffused throughout the entire creation, and by the
Day-Star of Thy will that hath shone brightly, through the power of Thy might
and of Thy sovereignty, above the horizon of Thy mercy, to blot out from my
heart all idle fancies and vain imaginings, that with all my affections I may
turn unto Thee, O Thou Lord of all mankind!
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
