This, Thy servant, hath advanced toward Thee and is
passionately wandering in the desert of Thy love and is walking in the path of
Thy service, is expecting Thy favors, hoping for Thy bounty, depending upon Thy
Kingdom and intoxicated by the wine of Thy gift.
O my God! Increase his fervor in Thy affection, his
constancy in Thy praise and his ardor in Thy love.
Verily, Thou art the Generous and endued with great bounty.
There is no God save Thee, the Forgiving, the Merciful!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha Abbas, vol. 1)
