```

Hope, my most precious friend,

My most sacred friend,

My most soulful friend,

And

My most dependable friend,

Only because of you

I can live on earth.

Only because of you

I dare to believe

That someday I will be able

To see my Beloved Supreme personally.

Only because of you

I dare to believe that there shall come a time

When humanity’s face and fate

Will be totally changed.

Only because of you

I feel that there shall come a time

When the animal in man will be transformed,

The human in man will be perfected,

And the divine in man will be fulfilled.

Hope, my Eternity’s unparalleled friend,

Both God and I treasure you,

For both of us need you at every moment.

I need you to realise my Beloved Supreme.

My Beloved Supreme needs you to manifest Him

Here on earth.

You are our true friend.

You are our invaluable treasure. ```
