and may, |
at every moment, |
proclaim: |
"Magnified be God, |
the Lord of the worlds! |
" |
Let my food, |
O my Lord, |
be Thy beauty, |
and my drink the light of Thy |
presence, |
and my hope Thy pleasure, |
and my work Thy praise, |
and my |
companion Thy remembrance, |
and my aid Thy sovereignty, |
and my |
dwelling-place Thy habitation, |
and my home the seat which Thou hast |
exalted above the limitations of them that are shut out as by a veil from |
Thee. |
Thou art, |
in truth, |
the God of power, |
of strength and glory. |
Praised be Thou, |
O Lord my God! |
Every time I am reminded of Thee and muse |
on Thy virtues, |
I am seized with such ecstasies and am so enravished by |
Thee that I find myself unable to make mention of Thy name and to extol |
Thee. |
I am carried back to such heights that I recognize my self to be the |
same as the remembrance of Thee in Thy realm, |
and the essence of Thy |
praise among Thy servants. |

Nay, |
the praise wherewith any |
one, |
in the entire creation, |
praiseth Thee proceedeth from this exalted |
self and returneth unto it, |
even as the sun which, |
while it shineth, |
sheddeth its splendor upon whatsoever may be exposed to its rays. |
From |
this sun is generated, |
and unto it must return, |
the light which is shed |
over all things. |
Exalted, |
immeasurably exalted art Thou above any attempt to measure the |
greatness of Thy Cause, |
above any comparison that one may seek to make, |
above the efforts of the human tongue to utter its import! |
From |
everlasting Thou hast existed, |
alone with no one else beside Thee, |
and |
wilt, |
to everlasting, |
continue to remain the same, |
in the sublimity of |
Thine essence and the inaccessible heights of Thy glory. |
And when Thou didst purpose to make Thyself known unto men, |
Thou didst |
successively reveal the Manifestations of Thy Cause, |
and ordained each to |
