I am seized with unquenchable longing to behold Thee face to face, my blessed Lord. I long to see Thy blessed self. I yearn to meet Thy good self. I long to hold close communion with Thee. This longing for Thee and yearning after Thee has been the innate human nature with me.
I cannot lift the veil that shrouds Thee from my perception. I cannot break the barriers that divide me from Thee. Thou dost fill both the heavens and the earth. Stupendous is the height of the heavens. Infinite is the width of the earth. I find Thee difficult of approach.
Zarathushtra, my beloved prophet, inspires me with hopeful words in my search for Thee. He shows me Thy light that can brighten my pathway and guide my footsteps to Thee. I need not scale the heights of the heavens, he says, nor travel along the highways of the world to find Thee. With purity of mind and holiness of heart, he assures me, I can find Thee on the highway of my own heart. He leads me to bend all my thoughts upon Thee. To meditate on Thee. He teaches me so to attune my mind to Thee that it may be bathed with Thy divine wisdom. He enthuses me to fill my heart with such deep devotion for Thee, that it may get drunk with Thy divine love.
So do I do, as my loving master commands me to do. I now lay my hand on my heart and I hear Thee speaking to me through its throbs. Thy bright face is ever before me, as I think of Thee and walk the Path of Righteousness.
Untold peace of mind and unbounded joy of heart have now come into my life, since I know that I am not alone, but that Thou art with me and dost hold my heart in Thy loving hands, Ahura Mazda!
