21. I am grateful to God

In the physical world
I am grateful to God
    Because
He has forgiven me
    And
My over-indulgence.

In the vital world
I am grateful to God
    Because
He has forgiven me
    And
My over-confidence.

In the mental world
I am grateful to God
    Because
He has forgiven me
    And
My self-absorption.
