"You have asked whether our prayers go beyond Bahá'u'lláh; It all depends whether we pray to Him directly or through Him to God. We may do both, and also can pray directly to God, but our prayers would certainly be more effective and illuminating if they are addressed to Him through His Manifestation Bahá'u'lláh.

"In quoting prayers any part may be used, but should be quoted as it is, however short."
