```

Left to myself,

I shall once more become

A perfect slave

To my desiring life.

Left to myself,

I shall once more become

A good friend

Of my sleeping body.

Left to myself,

I shall once more deeply appreciate

My attacking vital.

Left to myself,

I shall once more become

An ardent admirer

Of my doubting mind.

Left to myself,

I shall once more helplessly cry

With my weeping heart.

Left to myself,

I shall once more deliberately ignore

My illumining soul.

Left to myself,

I shall once more remain away, far away

From the ever-blessing Hands

Of my Beloved Supreme.

O, I cannot do that.

I shall not do that.

I shall always remain

In the Heart of my Beloved Supreme.

I shall always remain

At the Feet of my Beloved Supreme.

I shall always remain

With the Vision of my Beloved Supreme.

I shall always remain

For the Manifestation of my Beloved Supreme.

Him to please in His own way

I shall become an ever-climbing tree,

I shall become an ever-inspiring flower

And I shall become an ever-nourishing fruit. ```
