He Is God
O my God! O my God! Thou seest these children, branches of
the Tree of Life, birds of the Garden of Safety, pearls of the shells of the
ocean of Thy Mercy and roses of the rose-garden of Thy Guidance.
O Lord! Verily we glorify in Thy praise, sanctify Thee and
supplicate to the Kingdom of Thy Mercifulness to make us candles of guidance,
stars of the horizon of the Eternal Majesty among the creatures; and teach us
from Thy Knowledge, O Glory of the Most Glorious!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Star of
the West, vol.1, no. 19, March 2, 1911)
