"All that I beg of Thee, O my God, is to enable me, ere my soul departeth from my body, to attain Thy good-pleasure ..."



" ... All that I beg of Thee, O my God, is to enable me, ere my soul departeth from my body, to attain Thy good-pleasure, even were it granted to me for a moment tinier than the infinitesimal fraction of a mustard seed. For if it departeth while Thou art pleased with me, then I shall be free from every concern or anxiety; but if it abandoneth me while Thou art displeased with me, then, even had I wrought every good deed, none would be of any avail, and had I earned every honor and glory, none would serve to exalt me...."

-The Báb, Selections from the Writings of the Báb
