Thou, in very truth, art the Lord of the worlds, and the God of all that
are in heaven and all that are on earth.
--Baha'u'llah
"Many a chilled heart, O my God, hath been..."
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
Dayspring 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
Fountainhead 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 anyone save Thee.
