17.

```

My Lord Supreme,

You are telling me that

My heart's inner cry

And

My life's hunger for You

Must have a slow, steady

And unerring pace.

The crown of spirituality

Cannot be achieved overnight,

In the twinkling of an eye.

Slowly, steadily and unerringly,

I shall abide by Your

Compassion-Decision about my life,

For I must be fully ready

Before the God-Hour strikes for me.

Once the God-Hour strikes,

My life has to respond immediately.

My Lord Supreme, from today on

I shall wait for Your Arrival

With the utmost confidence

In Your choice Hour.

May Your Compassion and Satisfaction

Climb up and down

Inside my life's patience-tree. ```
