Blessed is he that hath set himself towards Thee,
and hasted to attain the Day-Spring of the lights
of Thy face. Blessed is he who with all his affections
hath turned to the Dawning-Place of Thy Revelation
and the Fountain-Head of Thine inspiration. Blessed
is he that hath expended in Thy path what Thou didst
34
bestow upon him through Thy bounty and favor.
Blessed is he who, in his sore longing after Thee, hath
cast away all else except Thyself. Blessed is he who
hath enjoyed intimate communion with Thee, and
rid himself of all attachment to any one save Thee.
