O seeker of Truth! If thou desirest that God my open thine
eye, thou must supplicate unto God, pray to and commune with Him at midnight,
saying:
O Lord, I have turned my face unto Thy kingdom of oneness
and am immersed in the sea of Thy mercy. O Lord, enlighten my sight by
beholding Thy lights in this dark night, and make me happy by the wine of Thy
love in this wonderful age. O Lord, make me hear Thy call, and open before my
face the doors of Thy heaven, so that I may see the light of Thy glory and
become attracted to Thy beauty. Verily, Thou art the Giver, the Generous, the
Merciful, the Forgiving.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Compilation: ‘Baha’i Prayers’, 2002
edition)
