the All-Glorious.
Glorified art Thou,
O Lord my God!
Thou seest me dwelling in this
prison-house that lieth behind the seas and the mountains,
and knowest
full well what I have endured for love of Thee and for the sake of Thy
Cause.
Thou art He,
O my God,
Who hath raised me up at Thy behest,
and
bidden me to occupy Thy seat,
and to summon all men to the court of Thy
mercy.
It is Thou Who hast commanded me to tell out the things Thou didst
destine for them in the Tablet of Thy decree and didst inscribe with the
pen of Thy Revelation,
and Who hast enjoined on me the duty of kindling
the fire of Thy love in the hearts of Thy servants,
and of drawing all the
peoples of the earth nearer to the habitation of Thy throne.
And when,
as bidden by Thee,
I arose and called out,
by Thy leave,
all Thy
creatures,
the wayward among Thy servants opposed me.
Some turned away
from me,
others disowned my claim,
a few hesitated,
while others were sore
perplexed,
notwithstanding that Thy testimony was set forth before the
followers of all religions,
and Thy proof demonstrated unto all the
peoples of the earth,
and the signs of Thy might so powerfully manifested
as to encompass the entire creation.
I was,
moreover,
opposed by mine own kindred,
although,
as Thou knowest,
they were dear to me and I had desired for them that which I had desired
for mine own self.
These are the ones who,
when learning that I had been
cast into prison,
perpetrated against me what no man else on earth had
perpetrated.
I entreat Thee,
therefore,
O my God,
by Thy name by which Thou hast
separated between truth and denial,
to purify their hearts of all evil
suggestions,
and to enable them to draw nigh unto Him Who is the
Day-Spring of Thy names and Thine attributes.
Thou knowest,
O my God,
that I have severed every tie that bindeth me to
any of Thy creatures except that most exalted tie that uniteth me with
whosoever cleaveth unto Thee,
in this the day of the revelation of Thy
most august Self,
that hath appeared in Thy name,
the All-Glorious.
Thou
knowest that I have dissolved every bond that knitteth me to any one of my
kindred except such as have enjoyed near access to Thy most effulgent
face.
I have no will but Thy will,
O my Lord,
and cherish no desire except Thy
desire.
From my pen floweth only the summons which Thine own exalted pen
hath voiced,
and my tongue uttereth naught save what the Most Great Spirit
