A Morning Prayer from the Sufi Tradition 

Toward the One,
the Perfection of Love,
Harmony, and Beauty,
the Only Being,
United with all the Illuminated Souls
Who form the Embodiment
of the Messenger,
the Spirit of Guidance

Pir

Inspirer of my mind, consoler of my heart, healer of my spirit,

Thy presence lifteth me from earth to heaven;

Thy words flow as the sacred river;

Thy thought riseth as a divine spring;

Thy tender feelings waken sympathy in my heart.

Beloved Teacher, thy very being is forgiveness.

The clouds of doubt and fear are scattered by thy piercing glance;

All ignorance vanishes in thy illuminating presence;

A new hope is born in my heart by breathing thy peaceful atmosphere.

O inspiring Guide, through life’s puzzling ways,

In thee I feel abundance of blessing.

Amen.

Universel

O Thou, who art the Maker, Molder,

and Builder of the Universe,

Build with Thine own hands

the Universel,

our Temple for Thy Divine Message

of Love, Harmony, and Beauty.

Amen.
