O Lord, help me to be meek and lowly, and strengthen me in
severing myself from all things and in holding to the hem of the garment of Thy
glory, so that my heart may be filled with Thy love and leave no space for love
of the world and attachment to its qualities.
O God! Sanctify me from all else save Thee, purge me from
the dross of sins and transgressions, and cause me to possess a spiritual heart
and conscience.
Verily, Thou art merciful and, verily, Thou art the Most
Generous, Whose help is sought by all men.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1; compilation: Baha'i Prayers)
