A Tablet of ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá

O thou who art attracted to the fragrances of God! I pray God to send down upon thee heavenly blessings, quicken thy soul with everlasting life through the power of the Holy Spirit, and make thy heart a wellspring of spiritual susceptibilities, so that thy breath may vivify the souls, the attraction of thy soul may move the very core of the world, the intensity of thy love may attract the hearts of the people, and the abundance of thine affection may become a source of mercy to humankind in the world of being. Verily, my Lord is the Powerful, the Almighty, the Most Bounteous!

Be thou compassionate to every sorrowful one, a dispeller of afflictions to every grieving one, a refuge to every fearful one, heavenly sustenance to every destitute one, refreshing water to every thirsty one, a healing medicine to every sick one, a soothing balm to every wounded one, a consolation to every dejected heart, a blessing to every wretched soul, a treasure to every seeker, and a succour to every lost one—so that thou mayest become a banner of guidance and the essence of piety amidst the maidservants of thy Lord, the Most High. Verily, thy Lord is the Beneficent, the Clement, the Most Bounteous!

—‘Abdu’l‑Bahá
