If And When I Do Not Love You Soulfully

My Supreme Lord,

If and when I do not love You soulfully,

Do punish me.

Punish me mercilessly.

If and when I start loving You soulfully,

Do teach me

How to love You unconditionally.

My Supreme Lord,

If and when I do not love myself divinely,

Do punish me.

Punish me ruthlessly.

If and when I start loving myself divinely,

Do teach me

How to love myself sleeplessly

Inside the very depths

Of Your Compassion-Eye

And

Your Forgiveness-Heart.
