Thy Unity Is Inscrutable, O My God, To All Except

Sources: Prayers And Meditations

Thy unity is inscrutable, O my God, to all except them that have

recognized Him Who is the Manifestation of Thy singleness and the

Day-Spring of Thy oneness. Whoso assigneth a rival unto Him hath assigned

a rival unto Thee, and whoso hath set up a peer for Him hath set up a peer

for Thyself. No, no, none can withstand Thee in the whole of creation.

Thou hast everlastingly been exalted far above all comparison and

liken ss. Thy oneness hath been demonstrated by the oneness of Him Who is

the Dawning-Place of Thy Revelation. Whosoever denieth this, hath denied

Thy unity, and disputed with Thee about Thy sovereignty, and contended

with Thee in Thy realm, and repudiated Thy commandments.



Assist Thou Thy servants, O my Lord, to recognize Thy unity and to declare

Thy oneness, that all may gather together around what Thou didst desire in

this Day whereon the sun of Thine essence hath shone forth above the

horizon of Thy will, and the moon of Thine own being hath risen from the

Day-Spring of Thy behest. Thou art He, O my Lord, from Whose knowledge

nothing whatsoever escapeth, and Whom no one can frustrate. Thou doest Thy

pleasure, by Thy sovereignty that overshadoweth the worlds.



Thou well knowest, O my God, my Best-Beloved, that naught can quench the

thirst I suffer in my separation from Thee except the waters of Thy

presence, and that the tumult of my heart can never be stilled save

through the living fountain of my reunion with Thee. Send down, then, upon

me, O my Lord, out of the heaven of Thy bounty what will draw me nearer

unto the chalice of Thy gifts, and make me able to quaff the choice sealed

Wine, Whose seal hath been loosed in Thy name, and from Which the sweet

savors of Thy days have been shed abroad. Thou, in truth, art the

All-Bountiful, Whose grace is infinite.



The whole universe testifieth to Thy generosity. Have mercy, then, upon me

by Thy graciousness, and deal bountifully with me through the power of Thy

sovereignty, and suffer me to enjoy near access to Thee by Thy manifold

favors. Thou, truly, art the Great Giver, the Almighty, the

Ever-Forgiving, the Most Bountiful.
