What are life's greatest privileges?

O great indeed is the privilege conferred on you on bended knee to lift your supplicating eyes upwards to the Great Father of Spirits.

When your children look up to you and prattle forth their little wants, you do not—you cannot close your ears. Neither will He withhold His answer to your prayers, and to yours.

As sure as He sends His High and Holy Ones to you with an answer to your supplications, so surely does He answers your prayers by sending them to you in ways you do not think of.

Go then with humble heart and bended knee, with uplifted hands and eyes—Go with heart following eye to Him who is the Source of all good—

Present the desires of your soul and He, the Hearer of Prayer, will assuredly answer.

I loved when on earth to retire at times to a sequestered spot in the shady grove where a little streamlet ran rippling over its pebbly bed with no living soul within miles to disturb my meditations, and there, my soul held sweet communion—There I talked with the Great and Mighty Spirit.

—Hafed, Prince of Persia
