stand aghast before the signs and tokens |
of Thy handiwork, |
while the wise find themselves, |
without exception, |
impotent to unravel the mystery of Them Who are the Manifestations of Thy |
might and power. |
Every man of insight hath confessed his powerlessness to |
scale the heights of Thy knowledge, |
and every man of learning hath |
acknowledged his failure to fathom the nature of Thine Essence. |
Having barred the way that leadeth unto Thee, |
Thou hast, |
by virtue of |
Thine authority and through the potency of Thy will, |
called into being |
Them Who are the Manifestations of Thy Self, |
and hast entrusted Them with |
Thy message unto Thy people, |
and caused Them to become the Day-Springs of |
Thine inspiration, |
the Exponents of Thy Revelation, |
the Treasuries of Thy |
Knowledge and the Repositories of Thy Faith, |
that all men may, |
through |
Them, |
turn their faces towards Thee, |
and may draw nigh unto the kingdom of |
Thy Revelation and the heaven of Thy grace. |
I beseech Thee, |
therefore, |
by Thyself and by Them, |
to send down, |
from the |
right hand of the throne of Thy grace, |
upon all that dwell on earth, |
that |
which shall wash them from the stain of their trespasses against Thee, |
and |
cause them to become wholly devoted to Thy Self, |
O Thou in Whose hand is |
the source of all gifts, |
that they may all arise to serve Thy Cause, |
and |
may detach themselves entirely from all except Thee. |
Thou art the |
Almighty, |
the All-Glorious, |
the Unrestrained. |
O my God, |
my Master, |
my Best-Beloved! |
I am Thy servant and the son of Thy |
servant. |
I have held fast the cord of Thy grace, |
and clung to the hem of |
the garment of Thy loving providence. |
I entreat Thee, |
by Thy Most Great |
Name, |
Whom Thou hast appointed as the unerring Balance among the nations, |
and Thine infallible Proof unto all men, |
not to forsake me, |
nor to abandon |
me to my corrupt desires. |
Do Thou preserve me beneath the shadow of Thy |
Supreme Sinlessness, |
and enable me to magnify Thine own Self amidst the |
concourse of Thy creatures. |
Withhold not from me the Divine fragrance of |
Thy days, |
and deprive me not of the sweet savors wafting from the |
Day-Spring of Thy Revelation. |
Bestow on me the good of this world and of |
the next, |
through the power of Thy grace that hath encompassed all created |
things and Thy mercy that hath surpassed the entire creation. |
Thou art He |
Who holdeth in His grasp the kingdom of all things. |
Thou doest what Thou |
willest through Thy decree, |
and choosest, |
through the power of Thy might, |
whatsoever Thou desirest. |
None can resist Thy will; |
naught can exhaust the |
impelling force of Thy command. |
There is no God but Thee, |
the Almighty, |
the All-Glorious, |
