74. I am prepared

You have come to me
To share your teeming worries.
I am prepared.

You have come to me
To throw your serpent-doubt at me.
I am prepared.

You have come to me
To challenge my compassion-net.
I am prepared.

My child, I am the sole intermediary
Between
The animal in you and the Supreme for you.
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 2, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
