"O seeker of Truth!..."
| |
1 |
O seeker of Truth!
| |
2 |
If thou desirest that god may open thy (spiritual)
eye, thou must supplicate unto God, pray to and commune
with Him at midnight, saying:
| |
3 |
"O Lord, I have turned my face unto thy Kingdom of
Oneness and am drowned in the sea of Thy mercy! O
Lord, enlighten my sight by beholding Thy lights in this
dark night, and make me happy by the wine of Thy
love in this wonderful age! O Lord, make me hear Thy
call, and open before my face the doors of Thy heaven,
so that I may see the light of Thy glory (Baha') and
become attracted to Thy beauty!
| |
4 |
"Verily, thou art the Giver, the Generous, the Merciful,
the Forgiving!"
| |
5 |
At that time such signs will appear which will guide
thee to the Kingdom of Thy Lord, the Merciful.
| |
6 |
The babe dressed in the white garment that gave thee
the jessamine is a fragrance of the fragrances of God,
reared through His love, a sign of His signs and a
breeze of His breezes. It hath a wonderful power
and there shall be for it astonishing states to the minds
and spirits. Understand what I say to thee through the
best of symbols.
