BB00536: Prayer for the mirrors

Say: O God! Thou art the Strengthener of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is between them. Thou givest strength unto whomsoever Thou willest and takest away strength from whomsoever Thou willest. Thou exaltest whomsoever Thou willest and abaseth whomsoever Thou willest. Thou givest victory unto whomsoever Thou willest and causeth to fail whomsoever Thou willest. Within Thy grasp is the kingdom of all things. Thou createst whatsoever Thou willest, howsoever Thou willest, through whatsoever Thou willest, for whatsoever Thou willest. Verily Thou art the All-Strengthening, the All-Powerful, the Almighty.

By the life of Him Whom God shall make manifest! If thou wert to continue thus and turn towards all who are on earth, none would oppose thee, for all are as mirrors wherein they imagine the sun to be, but the sun is in thy mirror while they wander in delusion. But those in the Bayan who walk upon the mountains of certitude [know better].

Say: O God! Thou art the All-Knowing of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever is between them. Thou givest knowledge unto whomsoever Thou willest and takest away knowledge from whomsoever Thou willest. Thou exaltest whomsoever Thou willest and abaseth whomsoever Thou willest. Thou strengthenest whomsoever Thou willest and humblest whomsoever Thou willest. Thou givest victory unto whomsoever Thou willest and causeth to fail whomsoever Thou willest. Thou enrichest whomsoever Thou willest and impoverisheth whomsoever Thou willest. Within Thy grasp is the kingdom of all things. Thou createst whatsoever Thou willest, howsoever Thou willest, through whatsoever Thou willest, for whatsoever Thou willest. Verily Thou art powerful over whatsoever Thou willest.
