O Lord my God, |
both before and after their death, |
what becometh |
the loftiness of Thy bounty and the excellence of Thy loving-kindness. |
Grant, |
O my Lord, |
that they who have ascended unto Thee may repair unto |
Him Who is the most exalted Companion, |
and abide beneath the shadow of the |
Tabernacle of Thy majesty and the Sanctuary of Thy glory. |
Sprinkle, |
O my |
Lord, |
upon them from the ocean of Thy forgiveness what will make them |
worthy to abide, |
so long as Thine own sovereignty endureth, |
within Thy |
most exalted kingdom and Thine all-highest dominion. |
Potent art Thou to do |
what pleaseth Thee. |
Deny not Thy loved ones, |
O my Lord, |
the sweet savors of this Day whereon |
the mysteries of Thy name, |
the Self-Subsisting, |
were unraveled, |
and all |
that had been enshrined within the treasuries of Thy wisdom was revealed. |
This is the Day, |
O my Lord, |
whereon every atom of the earth hath been made |
to vibrate and to cry out: |
"O Thou Who art the Revealer of signs and the |
King of creation! |
I, |
verily, |
perceive the fragrance of Thy presence. |
Methinks Thou hast revealed Thyself, |
and unlocked the door of reunion with |
Thee before all who are in Thy heaven and all who are on Thy earth. |
I am |
persuaded through the fragrance of Thy robe, |
O my Lord, |
that the world |
hath been honored through Thy presence, |
and hath inhaled the sweet smell |
of Thy meeting. |
I know not, |
however, |
O Thou the Beloved of the world and |
the Desire of the nations, |
the place wherein the throne of Thy majesty |
hath been established, |
nor the seat which hath been made Thy footstool, |
and been illumined with the splendors of the light of Thy face. |
" |
I swear by Thy glory, |
O Thou Who art the Lord of all being and the |
Possessor of all things visible and invisible! |
Every man of understanding |
hath been so bewildered at Thy knowledge, |
and every man endued with |
insight been so perplexed in his attempt to fathom the signs of Thy great |
glory, |
that all have recognized their powerlessness to visualize, |
and |
their impotence to soar into, |
the heaven wherefrom one of the Luminaries |
of the Manifestations of Thy knowledge and of the Day-Springs of Thy |
wisdom hath shone forth. |
Who is he that shall befittingly describe this |
most sublime station and this most august seat--the seat which, |
as decreed |
by Thee, |
transcendeth the comprehension of Thy creatures and the |
testimonies of Thy servants, |
and which hath everlastingly been hid from |
the understanding and the knowledge of men, |
and been closed with the seal |
of Thy name, |
the Self-Subsisting. |
I swear by Thy glory and Thy sovereignty which overshadow the kingdoms of |
earth and of heaven! |
Were any of Thy chosen Ones and Thy Messengers to |
meditate on the manifold evidences of Thy most exalted Pen--a Pen which is |
driven by the fingers of Thy will--and were he to muse on its mysteries, |
and its tokens, |
and all that it showeth forth, |
he would be so perplexed |
