For reflection..
"Whosoever has lost himself, has found the universe and the inhabitants thereof! Whosoever is occupied with himself is wandering in the desert of heedlessness and regret! The master-key of self-mastery is self-forgetfulness. The road to the palace of life is through the path of renunciation."
-Abdu'l-Baha
What does it mean to be forgetful of self?

Dearest Leil,
Thanks so much for sharing such inspiring quotations and comments. I so look forward to reading your blogs. Lots of love of dear one.
Hi,
I am wondering if you can tell me the source of the dawn prayer you have attributed to Abdu'l Baha, that contains the text:
"Oh God, give me a new life at every instant and bestow upon me the breaths of the Holy Spirit at every moment..."
I have looked for this in other prayer books and on Ocean but do not find it. We want to use it when we offer devotions at the House of Worship in Wilmette, but want to make sure it is an authentic prayer - I have heard people say it, and attribute it to Him, but don't know where the original text is located.
Thanks,
Emily
