My sweet Lord
Do You want me
To conquer the world
Or do You want the world
To conquer me?
I shall be equally pleased
In either case.

“My child,
I do not want you either
To conquer the world
Or to be conquered by the world.
I want you to conquer
Your own outer world
And your own inner world.
Finally, I want you to conquer Me
Once and for all.
To conquer your outer world
What you need
Is a volcano-will.
To conquer your inner world
What you need
Is an aspiration-mountain.
To conquer Me
What you need
Is your soul-beauty’s gratitude-heart.”
