and didst sanctify Him from all that |
beseemeth not the greatness of Thy glory and the power of Thy might, |
and |
didst bid Him to cry out before all that are in heaven and on earth, |
and |
summon the multitudes to the Manifestation of Thy Self and the Revealer of |
Thy signs. |
No sooner had He proclaimed Thy Cause, |
and risen up to carry out the |
things prescribed unto Him in the Tablets of Thy decree, |
than the Great |
Terror fell upon Thy creatures. |
Some turned towards Thee, |
and detached |
themselves from all except Thee, |
and sanctified their souls from the world |
and all that is therein, |
and were so enravished by the sweetness of Thy |
voice that they forsook all Thou hadst created in the kingdom of Thy |
creation. |
Others recognized Thee and then hesitated, |
others allowed the |
world to come in between them and Thee and to withhold them from |
recognizing Thee. |
Others disdained Thee, |
and turned back from Thee, |
and |
wished to prevent Thee from achieving Thy purpose. |
And yet behold how all |
of them are calling upon Thee, |
and are expecting the things they were |
promised in Thy Tablets. |
And when the Promised One came unto them, |
they |
recognized Him not, |
and disbelieved in Thy signs, |
and repudiated Thy clear |
tokens, |
and strayed so grievously from Thy path that they slew Thy |
servants, |
through the brightness of whose faces the countenances of the |
Concourse on high have been illumined. |
I beseech Thee, |
O Thou Who art the Lord of all names, |
to guard Thy loved |
ones against Thine enemies, |
and to strengthen them in their love for Thee |
and in fulfilling Thy pleasure. |
Do Thou protect them, |
that their footsteps |
may slip not, |
that their hearts may not be shut out as by a veil from |
Thee, |
and that their eyes may be restrained from beholding anything that |
is not of Thee. |
Cause them to be so enraptured by the sweetness of Thy |
divine melodies that they will rid themselves of all attachment to any one |
except Thee, |
and will turn wholly towards Thee, |
and extol Thee under all |
conditions, |
saying: |
"Praised be Thou, |
O Lord our God, |
inasmuch as Thou |
hast enabled us to recognize Thy most exalted and all-glorious Self. |
We |
will, |
by Thy mercy, |
cleave to Thee, |
and will detach ourselves from any one |
but Thee. |
We have realized that Thou art the Beloved of the worlds and the |
Creator of earth and heaven! |
" |
Glorified be God, |
the Lord of all creation! |
Lauded and glorified art Thou, |
O Lord my God! |
Thou art He Who from |
everlasting hath been clothed with majesty, |
with authority and power, |
and |
will continue unto everlasting to be arrayed with honor, |
with strength and |
glory. |
The learned, |
one and all, |
