| Salutations unto Thee, O Lord. Thou art the cause of all, but art Thyself causeless. Thou art the wonderful origin of the entire creation. As the mighty ocean to rivers, Thou art the goal of all scriptures, the great refuge of all creatures and the bestower of emancipation. Salutations unto Thee. |
