XXIX: "Many a chilled heart, O my God, hath been set..."
| |
1 |
Many a chilled heart, O my God, hath been set ablaze with the fire of Thy Cause, and many a slumberer
hath been wakened by the sweetness of Thy
voice. How many are the strangers who have sought
shelter beneath the shadow of the tree of Thy oneness,
and how numerous the thirsty ones who have
panted after the fountain of Thy living waters in
Thy days!

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
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.

I beseech Thee, O my Lord, by Him Who is Thy
Name, Who, through the power of Thy sovereignty
and might, hath risen above the horizon of His prison,
to ordain for every one what becometh Thee and beseemeth
Thine exaltation.

Thy might, in truth, is equal to all things.
