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.” ```
