Send down Thy blessings, O my God,
upon the Tree of the Bayán, upon its root and its branch, its boughs, its
leaves, its fruits and upon whatsoever it beareth or sheltereth. Cause this
Tree then to be made into a magnificent Scroll to be offered to the presence of
Him Whom Thou wilt make manifest on the Day of Judgement, that He may
graciously allow the entire company of the followers of the Bayán to be
restored to life and that He may, through His bounty, inaugurate a new
creation.
Indeed all are but paupers in the
face of Thy tender mercy, and lowly servants before the tokens of Thy
loving-kindness. I beg of Thee, by Thy bounty, O my God, and by the outpourings
of Thy mercy and bestowals, O my Lord, and by the evidences of Thy heavenly
favours and grace, O my Best Beloved, to watch over Him Whom God shall make
manifest that no trace of despondency may ever touch Him. (Selections from the
Writings of the Báb)
Some reflections and insights…
The Báb’s feelings towards Baha’u’llah
The Báb asks God to
cause the “Tree of the Bayan” “to be made into a magnificent Scroll” so
that it could be “offered to the presence of Him Whom Thou wilt make manifest”
The Báb asks God by
God’s “bounty”, by the “outpourings” of His “mercy and bestowals,” and
by the “evidences” of His “heavenly favours and grace,” to watch over Him Whom God shall make manifest
that no trace of despondency may ever touch Him.”
