O maid-servant of God! Commune with thy Lord, saying:
O my God! my God! Thanks be to Thee for guiding me unto Thy
Kingdom, for opening before my face the door of Thy guidance, enlightening my
eyes with beholding Thy signs, and filling my heart with the feelings of Thy
love.
O Lord! O Lord! Make me severed from the world and void of
its conditions, attracted by the fragrances of Thy holiness among Thy
maid-servants, free in heart, happy in soul, cheerful in mind, longing for the
Kingdom of Thy Beauty, and glowing with the fire of Thy love in the world. Thus
may I enkindle the light of guidance in the hearts of Thy servants.
Verily, Thou art the Powerful, the Bestower, the Precious,
the Mighty!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
