   The Feast of Mashiyyat, Will

   Mashíyyat is the eleventh month of the Baha’i calendar, and is name translates to Will. Mashíyyat represents the omnipresent Will of God—the primal force through which all things are created out of nothingness. Spiritually, Mashíyyat is a time for quelling the insistent self, in order to align completely with God’s purpose and the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh. Today's prayers for the Feast of Mashiyyat: I bear witness that he who hath known Thee, hath known God, and he who hath attained unto Thy presence, hath attained unto the presence of God. — From the Tablet of Visitation It is my hope that the 19th day feast may become firmly established and organized, so that the holy realities, which are behind this meeting, may leave behind all prejudice and conflict. Praise be to God, the All-Possessing, the King of Incomparable Glory. A praise which is immeasurably above the understanding of all created things, and is exalted beyond the grasp of the minds of men. The enkindled souls being raised up … gain an ever more profound understanding of Bahá’u’lláh’s teachings – “the sovereign remedy for every disease” – and to apply them to the needs of society. Beware! Walk not the ungodly and seek not fellowship with him, for such companionship turneth the radiance of the heart into eternal fire. O my Lord, my Beloved, my Desire! Befriend me in my loneliness and accompany me in my trials. Remove my sorrow. Cause me to be devoted to Thy beauty. Know for a certainty that the will of God is not limited by the standards pf people. I adjure Thee by Thy might, O my God, let no harm beset me in times of tests, and in moments of heedlessness, guide my steps aright. Dispel my grief, by Thy bounty and Thy generosity, O God my God, and banish my anguish through thy sovereignty and Thy might.

   The Declaration of the Bab, the herald of the Baha’i faith.

   Intro First and last paragraphs of the Tablet of Visitation I am, I am, Ia the Promised One All majesty and glory, O my God, and all dominion and light and grandeur and splendor be unto Thee. The most acceptable prayer is the one offered with the utmost spirituality and radiance. Its prolongation has not been, and is not loved, by God. No record is passed to posterity of that unique night, save the fragmentary but highly illuminating account that fell from the lips of Mulla Hussain. I adjure Thee by Thy might, O my God. Let no harm beset me in times of tests. The advent of the Bahai faith

   Tablet of Visitation of Bahá’u’lláh

   This Tablet is read at the Shrines of Bahá’u’lláh and The Báb. It is also frequently used in commemorating Their anniversaries. The praise which hath dawned from Thy most august Self, and the glory which hath shone forth from Thy most effulgent Beauty, rest upon Thee, O Thou Who art the Manifestation of Grandeur, and the King of Eternity, and the Lord of all who are in heaven and on earth!  I testify that through Thee the sovereignty of God and His dominion, and the majesty of God and His grandeur, were revealed, and the Daystars of ancient splendor have shed their radiance in the heaven of Thine irrevocable decree, and the Beauty of the Unseen hath shone forth above the horizon of creation.  I testify, moreover, that with but a movement of Thy Pen Thine injuction “Be Thou” hath been enforced, and God's hidden Secret hath been divulged, and all created things have been called into being, and all the Revelations have been sent down. I bear witness, moreover, that through Thy beauty the beauty of the Adored One hath been unveiled, and through Thy face the face of the Desired One hath shone forth, and that through a word from Thee Thou hast decided between all created things, causing them who are devoted to Thee to ascend unto the summit of glory, and the infidels to fall into the lowest abyss. I bear witness that he who hath known Thee hath known God, and he who hath attained unto Thy presence hath attained unto the presence of God.  Great, therefore, is the blessedness of him who hath believed in Thee, and in Thy signs, and hath humbled himself before Thy sovereignty, and hath been honored with meeting Thee, and hath attained the good pleasure of Thy will, and circled around Thee, and stood before Thy throne.  Woe betide him that hath transgressed against Thee, and hath denied Thee, and repudiated Thy signs, and gainsaid Thy sovereignty, and risen up against Thee, and waxed proud before Thy face, and hath disputed Thy testimonies, and fled from Thy rule and Thy dominion, and been numbered with the infidels whose names have been inscribed by the fingers of Thy behest upon Thy holy Tablets. Waft, then, unto me, O my God and my Beloved, from the right hand of Thy mercy and Thy loving-kindness, the holy breaths of Thy favors, that they may draw me away from myself and from the world unto the courts of Thy nearness and Thy presence.  Potent art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee.  Thou, truly, hast been supreme over all things. The remembrance of God and His praise, and the glory of God and His splendor, rest upon Thee, O Thou Who art His Beauty!  I bear witness that the eye of creation hath never gazed upon one wronged like Thee.  Thou wast immersed all the days of Thy life beneath an ocean of tribulations.  At one time Thou wast in chains and fetters; at another Thou wast threatened by the sword of Thine enemies.  Yet, despite all this, Thou didst enjoin upon all men to observe what had been prescribed unto Thee by Him Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. May my spirit be a sacrifice to the wrongs Thou didst suffer, and my soul be a ransom for the adversities Thou didst sustain.  I beseech God, by Thee and by them whose faces have been illumined with the splendors of the light of Thy countenance, and who, for love of Thee, have observed all whereunto they were bidden, to remove the veils that have come in between Thee and Thy creatures, and to supply me with the good of this world and the world to come.  Thou art, in truth, the Almighty, the Most Exalted, the All-Glorious, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Compassionate. Bless Thou, O Lord my God, the Divine Lote-Tree and its leaves, and its boughs, and its branches, and its stems, and its offshoots, as long as Thy most excellent titles will endure and Thy most august attributes will last.  Protect it, then, from the mischief of the aggressor and the hosts of tyranny.  Thou art, in truth, the Almighty, the Most Powerful.  Bless Thou, also, O Lord my God, Thy servants and Thy h
