“O thou attracted maid-servant of God!…” |
|
Verily, I bow my face to the dust of the Threshold of
El-Baha and to Him who sitteth on the Throne, I
petition as a supplicating captive, begging Him to make
thee to behold His Glorious Face and to purify thine
insight from aught else save Him among the people.
Verily, He is the refuge of all and our Great Protection!

We are all poor at His Door, weak before His Power,
lowly at His Threshold, and we possess the power
315
of neither good nor harm. He is indeed the Confirmer,
the Strengthener, the Benevolent!

Truly hath He opened before our faces the doors of
the Kingdom, granted us the treasures of His mysteries
through the divine bounty and He hath chosen us
for His love, for attainment unto His lights, the study
of His teachings, the spreading of His name, the guidance
unto His path and service in His great vineyard.
I pray for confirmation in thy behalf and thou shouldst
pray for strength on my part. Thy prayers for me
should be that I may attain martyrdom in His path,
that my spirit may be His sacrifice, and that my blood
may be shed for His love.
