819. If you want me

```

My Lord and God,

If You want me

To live in the physical world,

Then command me to sleep.

If You want me

To live in the vital world,

Then command me to dare.

If You want me

To live in the mental world,

Then command me to learn.

If You want me

To live in the psychic world,

Then command me to surrender.

```
