The Seven Days of the Heart
Extract from the Sunday eve prayer
In the Name of God, the All-Compassionate and Most Merciful:
O my God, You are the One who encompasses what is unseen by every seer, and the One who occupies and holds sway over the interior of every exterior.
I ask of You by the light of Your Face, before which all foreheads prostrate, to which all faces submit, and by Your Light at which all eyes gaze, that You guide me on Your private path, turning my face to You away from whatever is other than You.
O You who is the Unlimited "He", while I am the limited "He"!
O "He", apart from whom there is no other!
O my God, You are the Existent, standing over every soul, and the Self-Standing, subsisting in every meaning and every perception. You possess all Power, so You subjugate, and You possess all Knowledge, so You foreordain. To You belongs Ordaining Power and Subjugating Might, and in Your Hands are the creation and the command.
You are with each thing, in the closest proximity, and you are its Master; by encompassing it You are its Director and its Guide.
O my Lord, bring me close to You with the closeness of those who truly know You.
