O 'Ali-Akbar, thank thy Lord for this Tablet whence thou canst breathe the
fragrances of My meekness, and know what hath beset Us in the path of God,
the Adored of all the worlds.
Should all the servants read and ponder this, there shall be kindled in
their veins a fire that shall set aflame the worlds.
--Baha'u'llah
TABLET OF THE HOLY MARINER
"Study the Tablet of the Holy Mariner that ye may know the truth, and
consider that the Blessed Beauty hath fully foretold future events. Let
them who perceive, take warning!"--'Abdu'l-Baha
"He is the Gracious, the Well-Beloved! O Holy Mariner!..."
He is the Gracious, the Well-Beloved!
O Holy Mariner!
Bid thine ark of eternity appear before the Celestial Concourse,
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious!
Launch it upon the ancient sea, in His Name, the Most Wondrous,
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious!
And let the angelic spirits enter, in the Name of God, the Most High.
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious!
Unmoor it, then, that it may sail upon the ocean of glory,
Glorified be my Lord, the All-Glorious!
Haply the dwellers therein may attain the retreats of nearness in the
everlasting realm.
