XLIII: "O God, Who art the Author of all Manifestations,..."
| |
1 |
O God, Who art the Author of all Manifestations, the Source of all Sources, the Fountain-Head of all
Revelations, and the Well-Spring of all Lights! I
testify that by Thy Name the heaven of understanding
hath been adorned, and the ocean of utterance
hath surged, and the dispensations of Thy providence
have been promulgated unto the followers of all
religions.
| |
2 |
I beseech Thee so to enrich me as to dispense with
all save Thee, and be made independent of any one
except Thyself. Rain down, then, upon me out of
the clouds of Thy bounty that which shall profit me
in every world of Thy worlds. Assist me, then,
through Thy strengthening grace, so to serve Thy
Cause amidst Thy servants that I may show forth
what will cause me to be remembered as long as Thine
own kingdom endureth and Thy dominion will last.
| |
3 |
This is Thy servant, O my Lord, who with his
whole being hath turned unto the horizon of Thy
bounty, and the ocean of Thy grace, and the heaven
of Thy gifts. Do with me then as becometh Thy
majesty, and Thy glory, and Thy bounteousness, and
Thy grace.
| |
4 |
Thou, in truth, art the God of strength and power,
Who art meet to answer them that pray Thee. There
is no God save Thee, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
