967. When I meditate

```

O Lord Supreme,

When I meditate

The animal in me hates me,

The human in me ridicules me,

The world around me ignores me.

What am I supposed to do?

Daughter, you are supposed

To do three things:

Transform the animal in you,

Illumine the human in you,

Manifest the Divine in you.

```
