My Lord Supreme,

When I pray to You,I see the sky lifting me up

High, higher, highest.When I meditate on You,

I see the same sky descendingSlowly, steadily and unerringly

And touching my earth-existenceMost compassionately.

My Lord Supreme, You are telling meNot to be afraid of the Unknown,

But to love the UnknownAnd become one with the Unknown,

For this unknown RealityWill not remain forever unknown,

And my life's perfectionAnd my heart's satisfaction

Will grow in it.My Lord, make me ready

And make me worthyOf Your blessingful Promise to me.

My sweet Lord, Do tell me when You love me most. Do You love me most When I pray soulfully? Do You love me most When I meditate sleeplessly? Do You love me most When I consciously surrender myself To You entirely? Do You love me most When I become a gratitude-heart?

“My child, no, no, no! I love you most Only when you declare Your inseparable oneness with Me, Not only in your inner world But also in your outer world. Your conscious feeling of oneness with Me Shall always please Me most.”
