Praise be unto Him whose light hath risen, whose appearance hath become exalted, whose signs are promulgated and whose evidences are fulfilled. The tongue of the realities of all things hath uttered "Glory be to my God, the El-Baha!" Thanks for His manifest Beauty and for His Great Splendor!-- for He hath quickened mankind with the spirit of guidance and hath rendered clear the White Path of Gifts. through the arguments which are brilliant and clear to the hearts of the intelligent, and whereby these hearts re moved, enlightened, illuminated and become cognizant of the Mighty Message in this Manifest Day of the Manifestation of the Honorable Station when the mystery of existence flows just as do the souls in the bodies. (78:1) O my God! O my God! This, Thy servant, hath advanced toward Thee and is passionately wandering in the desert of Thy love and is walking in the path of Thy service, is expecting Thy favors, hoping for Thy bounty, depending upon Thy Kingdom and intoxicated by the wine of Thy gift. (78:2) O my God! Increase his fervor in Thy affection, his constancy in Thy praise and his ardor in Thy love. (78:3) Verily, Thou art the Generous and endued with great bounty. There is no God save Thee, the Forgiving, the Merciful!
(78:4)
