18 October 1998

10:40 pm

Before lifting 240 lbs

with each arm 4 times

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme,

Every morning You stand before me

With Your infinite Compassion-Light.

Alas, alas, I do not know how

To receive Your Light.

Please, my Lord,

Since You take the trouble

Of coming to me every morning

With Your infinite Light,

Will You not teach me how to receive

Even an iota of Your Light

To transform my nature

And fulfil You inside my life?

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
