“O thou maid-servant of God who art attracted to the…” |
|
Speak of my servitude unto God, of my humbleness
and submissiveness to the Beloved of God, and of my
evanescence, nothingness and utter meekness to the
Threshold of Baha’. Verily, I am the servant of
Baha’, the slave of Baha’ and the captive of Baha’.
I have no grade but this and I do not possess anything
604
for myself. Therefore, mention me in my pure servitude;
this is that by which my heart is dilated by
every maid-servant who speaks the praise of God. I
beseech God to make thee a dove in the grove of holiness,
to coo with the most wonderful melodies the praise
of thy Lord, the Merciful!
