“THOU seest, O my Lord, my dwelling-place in the heart …” 217 |
|
THOU seest, O my Lord, my dwelling-place in the heart
of this mountain and Thou dost witness my forbearance.
Verily I have desired naught else but Thy love and the love
of those who love Thee. How can I extol the effulgent
beauty of Thy Lordship, conscious as I am of my nothingness
before the habitation of Thy glory? Yet the sorrow of
solitude and loneliness prompteth me to invoke Thee
through this prayer, perchance Thy trusted servants may
become aware of my lamentations, may supplicate unto
Thee on my behalf, and Thou wouldst graciously answer
their prayers as a token of Thy grace and Thy favour. I
bear witness that there is no God but Thee, inasmuch as
Thou art invested with sovereignty, grandeur, glory and
power which no one among Thy servants can visualize or
comprehend. Indeed Thou shalt, by virtue of that which is
inherent in Thine Essence, ever remain inscrutable unto all
except Thyself.
