My soul has been stolen away.
Desire, the thief, is in collusion with my mind.In vain I beat them black and blue.
The more I beat them the louder becomes their laughter.O Lord and God, my power is ignorance.
Yours is knowledge.I have fought with you many a time and every time I have come off second-best.
This time I shall use my gratitude as my power, and I am sure that I shall bear the palm.My immaculate gratitude will compel your Grace to fight with your iron law.
I know the stronger of the two is your Grace. All problems are now solved since I have got your Grace as my Guide.From:Chinmoy,Chandelier, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, 1959
