O my God! O my God! Verily Thy servant,
humble before the majesty of Thy divine supremacy, lowly at the door of Thy
oneness, hath believed in Thee and in Thy verses, hath
testified to Thy word, hath been enkindled with the fire of Thy love, hath been
immersed in the depths of the ocean of Thy knowledge, hath been attracted by
Thy breezes, hath relied upon Thee, hath turned his face to Thee, hath offered
his supplications to Thee, and hath been assured of Thy pardon and forgiveness.
He hath abandoned this mortal life and hath flown to the kingdom of
immortality, yearning for the favour of meeting Thee.
O Lord, glorify his station, shelter
him under the pavilion of Thy supreme mercy, cause him to enter Thy glorious
paradise, and perpetuate his existence in Thine exalted rose garden, that he
may plunge into the sea of light in the world of mysteries.
Verily, Thou art the Generous, the
Powerful, the Forgiver and the Bestower.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the
Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
