Exalted art Thou, O Lord my God! I am the one who hath forsaken his all
and set his face towards the splendors of the glory of Thy countenance,
who hath severed every tie and clung to the cord of Thy love and of Thy
good-pleasure. I am he, O my God, who hath embraced Thy love and accepted
all the adversities which the world can inflict, who hath offered up
himself as a ransom for the sake of Thy loved ones, that they may ascend
into the heavens of Thy knowledge and be drawn nearer unto Thee, and may
soar in the atmosphere of Thy love and Thy good-pleasure.

Ordain, O my God, for me and for them that which Thou didst decree for
such of Thy chosen ones as are wholly devoted unto Thee. Cause them, then,
to be numbered among those whose eyes Thou hast cleansed and kept from
turning to any one save Thee, and whose eyes Thou hast protected from
beholding any face except Thy face.

Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the Most Exalted, the All-Glorious, the
Supreme King, the Help in Peril, the All-Pardoner, the Ever-Forgiving.







Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I implore Thee by the onrushing winds
of Thy grace, and by them Who are the Day-Springs of Thy purpose and the
Dawning-Places of Thine inspiration, to send down upon me and upon all
that have sought Thy face that which beseemeth Thy generosity and
bountiful grace, and is worthy of Thy bestowals and favors. Poor and
desolate I am, O my Lord! Immerse me in the ocean of Thy wealth; athirst,
suffer me to drink from the living waters of Thy loving-kindness.

I beseech Thee, by Thine own Self and by Him Whom Thou hast appointed as
the Manifestation of Thine own Being and Thy discriminating Word unto all
that are in heaven and on earth, to gather together Thy servants beneath
the shade of the Tree of Thy gracious providence. Help them, then, to
partake of its fruits, to incline their ears to the rustling of its
leaves, and to the sweetness of the voice of the Bird that chanteth upon
its branches. Thou art, verily, the Help in Peril, the Inaccessible, the
Almighty, the Most Bountiful.








Praised be Thou, O Lord my God! I implore Thee by Them Who are the
Tabernacles of Thy Divine holiness, Who are the Manifestations of Thy
transcendent unity and the Day-Springs of Thine inspiration and
revelation, to grant that Thy servants may not be kept back from this
Divine Law which, at Thy will and according to Thy pleasure, hath branched
out from Thy most great Ocean. Do Thou, then, ordain for them that which
Thou didst ordain for Thy chosen ones and for the righteous among Thy
creatures, whose constancy in Thy Cause the tempests of trials have failed
to shake, and whom the tumults of tests have been powerless to hinder from
magnifying Thy most exalted Word--the Word through Which the heavens of
men's idle fancies and vain imaginations have been split asunder. Thou
art, verily, the Almighty, the All-Glorious, the All-Knowing.

Enable, then, Thy servants, O my God, to recognize the Day-Star that hath
shone forth above the horizon of Thine irrevocable decree and purpose, and
suffer them not to be deprived of the Paradise which Thou, by Thy name,
the All-Glorious, hast called into being in the heavens of Thine exalted
omnipotence. Cause them, moreover, O my God, to hearken to Thy most sweet
voice, that they may all hasten to recognize Thy unity and acknowledge Thy
oneness, O Thou Who art the Beloved of the hearts of all that yearn after
Thee, and the Object of the adoration of such as have known Thee!

I beseech Thee, by them that have cut down all the idols in this
Revelation through which the Most Grievous Convulsion and the Great Terror
have appeared, to assist, at all times, Thy servants with the signs of
Thine almighty power and the evidences of Thy transcendent and
all-compelling might. Grant, then, that their hearts may be made as strong
as brass, that they may remain unmoved by the overpowering might of such
as have transgressed against Him Who is the Manifestation of Thine Essence
and the Day-Spring of Thine invisible Self, and that they may all arise to
glorify and help Thee, so that through them the ensigns of Thy triumph may
be lifted up in Thy realm, and the standards of Thy Cause may be unfurled
throughout Thy dominions. Thou art He who from everlasting hath, through
the potency of His will, been all-powerful, and will continue to remain
the same for ever and ever. Thou art, verily, the All-Glorious, the Most
High. No God is there but Thee, the Most Powerful, the Most Exalted, the
Help in Peril, the Most Great, the One Being, the Incomparable, the
All-Glorious, the Unrestrained.
