O my God! O my God! Verily, these servants are turning to
Thee, supplicating Thy kingdom of mercy. Verily, they are attracted by Thy holiness
and set aglow with the fire of Thy love, seeking confirmation from Thy wondrous
kingdom, and hoping for attainment in Thy heavenly realm. Verily, they long for
the descent of Thy bestowal, desiring illumination from the Sun of Reality. O
Lord! Make them radiant lamps, merciful signs, fruitful trees and shining
stars. May they come forth in Thy service and be connected with Thee by the
bonds and ties of Thy love, longing for the lights of Thy favor. O Lord! Make
them signs of guidance, standards of Thine immortal kingdom, waves of the sea
of Thy mercy, mirrors of the light of Thy majesty.
Verily, Thou art the Generous. Verily, Thou art the
Merciful. Verily, Thou art the Precious, the Beloved.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Revealed
at the end of a talk, Huntington Chambers, Boston Massachusetts, 25 May 1912;
‘The Promulgation of Universal Peace’)
