O my God, my Lord and my Master! I have detached myself from
my kindred and have sought through Thee to become independent of all that dwell
on earth and ever ready to receive that which is praiseworthy in Thy sight.
Bestow on me such good as will make me independent of aught else but Thee, and
grant me an ampler share of Thy boundless favors. Verily, Thou art the Lord of
grace abounding.
- The Báb (‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)
