526. Only when I was liberated

I thought of God
Only when I was liberated
From stealthy fear.

I prayed to God
Only when I was liberated
From strangling jealousy.

I meditated on God
Only when I was liberated
From dragon doubt.

I realised God
Only when I was liberated
From self-imposed inadequacy.
