Magnified be Thy Name, O Lord my God! I am the one who hath
turned his face towards Thee and hath placed his whole reliance in Thee. I
implore Thee by Thy Name whereby the ocean of Thine utterance hath surged and
the breezes of Thy knowledge have stirred, to grant that I may be graciously
aided to serve Thy Cause and be inspired to remember Thee and praise Thee. Send
down then upon me from the heaven of Thy generosity that which will preserve me
from anyone but Thee and will profit me in all Thy worlds.
Verily, Thou art the Powerful, the Inaccessible, the
Supreme, the Knowing, the Wise.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed
after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
