A Tablet of the Greatest Name
~ Abdu'l-Baha
0 Ye beloved of God and handmaids of the merciful!!
Call ye to mind the blessed name
of our peerless Beloved, the Abha Beauty,
in an uplifting spirit of unbounded ecstasy and delight,
then unloose your tongues in His praises
in such wise that the realm of the heart
may be purged from the woes and sorrows
of the world of water and clay
that the great heights of spiritual perceptions
may be unveiled before your eyes,
that the glorious signs of His divine unity
may shine resplendent,
a fresh outpouring of His grace may stream forth,
and a liberal effusion of celestial confirmations
may be vouchsafed unto you.
His name is indeed the healing medicine for every illness,
and imparteth unto those starving with cold,
it is the sovereign remedy and the supreme talisman.
It is the source of life in both worlds,
and of salvation unto such as have gone astray.
Today this hallowed name serveth as a shield
for all mankind,
and as a veritable refuge for the children of men.
It is the wondrous accent of the Lord of Mercy,
and His celestial melody.
Wherefore, O faithful friends,
raise ye the triumphal cry of
Ya-Baha'u'ul-Abha!
O ye who yearn after the beauty of the Allmighty!
lift up your faces towards the Supreme horizon.
Rest not even for a moment.
Breathe not a single breath
save in remembrance of His love
and in recognition of His grace,
in the promulgation of His utterances
and the vindication of His testaments.
Verily, this is the Magnet of divine confirmations.
This is the mighty Force
which will surely attract heavenly assistance.
