When I surrender my desire-lifeAnd my aspiration-life
Soulfully and unconditionally
To my Beloved Supreme,
I say to Him,
“My Lord, to You I give
What I had before — my desire life —
And what I am now — my aspiration-life.
Both at the same time
I place at Your Feet.”
My Lord Supreme grants me
His own Satisfaction-Tree,
Which is infinitely taller
Than my desire-life-tree
And my aspiration-life-tree
Put together.
