869. God alone knows

I wanted to become pure.
Therefore
My Master asked me to stop eating
Meat and fish.
I immediately stopped.
Alas, God alone knows
Where Purity-goddess is.

I wanted to become strong.
Therefore
My Master asked me to take
Regular exercise.
I immediately started.
Alas, God alone knows
Where Omnipotence-god is.
