Let my heart be dilated with joy through the spirit of confirmation from
Thy kingdom, and brighten my eyes by beholding the hosts of divine
assistance descending successively upon me from the kingdom of Thine
omnipotent glory.
Thou art, in truth, the Almighty, the All-Glorious, the All-Powerful.
--'Abdu'l-Baha
"O God, my God! Fill up for me the cup of detachment..."
O God, my God! Fill up for me the cup of detachment from all things, and
in the assembly of Thy splendors and bestowals, rejoice me with the wine
of loving Thee. Free me from the assaults of passion and desire, break off
from me the shackles of this nether world, draw me with rapture unto Thy
supernal realm, and refresh me amongst the handmaids with the breathings
of Thy holiness.
O Lord, brighten Thou my face with the lights of Thy bestowals, light Thou
mine eyes with beholding the signs of Thine all-subduing might; delight my
heart with the glory of Thy knowledge that encompasseth all things,
gladden Thou my soul with Thy soul-reviving tidings of great joy, O Thou
King of this world and the Kingdom above, O Thou Lord of dominion and
might, that I may spread abroad Thy signs and tokens, and proclaim Thy
Cause, and promote Thy Teachings, and serve Thy Law and exalt Thy Word.
