```

My Supreme Lord,

Why am I so unhappy?

“My child, you are unhappy because

Your vital complains against everything.

You are unhappy because

Your mind wants everything to be explained.

You are unhappy because

Your body is afraid of everything.

You are unhappy because

Your heart does not trust anything.”

My Supreme Lord,

How can I be happy?

“You can be happy

Easily, effectively and permanently

If you can think and feel

That you are of the transcendentally beautiful thing, God,

And you are for the universally fruitful thing, God.”

```
