Unto Thee be praise, O Lord my God! I entreat Thee, by Thy
signs that have encompassed the entire creation, and by the light of Thy
countenance that hath illuminated all that are in heaven and on earth, and by
Thy mercy that hath surpassed all created things, and by Thy grace that hath
suffused the whole universe, to rend asunder the veils that shut me out from
Thee, that I may hasten unto the Fountain-Head of Thy mighty inspiration, and
to the Day-Spring of Thy Revelation and bountiful favors, and may be immersed
beneath the ocean of Thy nearness and pleasure. - Baha'u'llah ('Prayers and
Meditations by Baha'u'llah'; The Baha’i World 1936-1938)
