O Lord of all being and Educator of all things visible and
invisible! Grant us ears that are pure, hearts that are sanctified, and eyes
that see, so that we may discover the sweetness of Thine enthralling utterance,
may fix our gaze upon Thy supreme horizon, and may come to know whatever hath
been sent down through Thy bounty, O Thou Who art the King of Names! Kindle
then the fire of Thy love in Thy lands, that the hearts of Thy creatures may be
set ablaze thereby, that they may turn towards Thee, may recognize Thy unity and
acknowledge Thy oneness. O Lord of all names! Rend asunder before their faces
the veils of glory, and make known unto them the excellence of this Day which
hath been adorned with Thy Name and illumined with the light of Thy
Countenance. Thou, verily, art He Whom the good works of the people can never
exalt nor their evil deeds deter, Whom the ascendancy of the rulers cannot
humble nor the power of the mighty vanquish. Thou doest through Thy sovereignty
whatsoever Thou willest. No God is there but Thee, the All-Powerful, the Most
Exalted, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of remembrance’)
