Know thou, verily, it is becoming in a weak one to supplicate to the Strong One, and it behooveth a seeker of bounty to beseech the Glorious Bountiful One. When one supplicates to his Lord, turns to Him and seeks bounty from His Ocean, this supplication brings light to his heart, illumination to his sight, life to his soul and exaltation to his being.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Utterances of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá quoted by J. E. Esslemont in ‘Bahá’u’lláh and the New Era’; compilation: ‘Prayer and Devotional Life’, prepared by the Research Department of the Universal House of Justice’)
