8. A closer bond with God
Through my prayer    I tried to make
A closer bond with God.
    I failed.
Through my meditation
    I tried to make
A closer bond with God.
    I failed.
Through my surrendering heart
    I tried to make
A closer bond with God.
    I succeeded.
    Not only that,
    But my surrendering heart
    Was embraced by God's Satisfaction-Life.
