V. The “veil of vain imaginings” prevents believers who are “wholly devoted” to Baha’u’llah from seeing Him “seated on the throne” of His “majesty” – we need Baha’u’llah’s assistance to tear this veil asunder
Tear asunder with the hand of Thy transcendent power, O my
Lord, the veil of vain imaginings, that they who are wholly devoted to Thee may
see Thee seated on the throne of Thy majesty, and the eyes of such as adore Thy unity may rejoice at the
splendors of the glory of Thy face. The doors of hope have been shut against
the hearts that long for Thee, O my Lord! Their keys are in Thy hands; open
them by the power of Thy might and Thy sovereignty. Potent art Thou to do as
Thou pleasest. Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the Beneficent.
