To my dear students in Puerto Rico:4
O Children of the Supreme! I bow to the Supreme within you.Today my body completes thirty-five years of its earthly existence. You are entering into me with your hearts' joy and your souls' aspiration. I am placing your divine wealth at the Feet of the Supreme. I am also offering to the Supreme all that you have and all that you are.
A song without notes is no song. A song breathes because it has a Singer. The Singer is the Supreme.
A tree without branches is no tree. A tree lives because it has a Root. The Root is the Supreme.
O Flames of my Spirit's fire, Fly into the Transcendental Beyond.
