امروز حفیف سدره منتهی مرتفع و آفتاب بیان از افق سماء معانی مشرق و لائح صراط

In this day the rustling of the Divine Lote-Tree hath been raised up, and the Sun of Utterance hath dawned and shone forth from the horizon of the heaven of inner meanings, and the Path hath been made manifest [3.5s]... ...The days of the Manifestations of God have, in one sense, been referred to as the Day of God. Yet these days, as they are mentioned in all the Holy Books… How can I choose to sleep, O God, my God, when the eyes of them that long for Thee are wakeful... I have risen this morning by Thy grace, O my God, and left my home trusting wholly in Thee... This, Thy servant, seeketh to sleep in the shelter of Thy mercy... I have wakened in Thy shelter, O my God
