Praise be unto Thee, O my God, that we have wakened to the
splendors of the light of Thy knowledge. Send down, then, upon us, O my Lord,
what will enable us to dispense with any one but Thee, and will rid us of all
attachment to aught except Thyself. Write down, moreover, for me, and for such
as are dear to me, and for my kindred, man and woman alike, the good of this
world and the world to come. Keep us safe, then, through Thine unfailing
protection, O Thou the Beloved of the entire creation and the Desire of the
whole universe, from them whom Thou hast made to be the manifestations of the
Evil Whisperer, who whisper in men’s breasts. Potent art Thou to do Thy
pleasure. Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the Help in Peril, the
Self-Subsisting.
Bless Thou, O Lord my God, Him Whom Thou hast set over Thy
most excellent Titles, and through Whom Thou hast divided between the godly and
the wicked, and graciously aid us to do what Thou lovest and desirest. Bless
Thou, moreover, O my God, them Who are Thy Words and Thy Letters, and them who
have set their faces towards Thee, and turned unto Thy face, and hearkened to
Thy Call.
Thou art, truly, the Lord and King of all men, and art
potent over all things.
- Baha’u’llah ('Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
