242. The captains
O my earth-lifeYou want beauty
To be the captain of your body.
That is perfectly fine with me.
You want purity
To be the captain of your vital.
That is perfectly all right with me.
You want luminosity
To be the captain of your mind.
That is excellent with me.
You want divinity
To be the captain of your heart.
That is more than perfect with me.
Sri Chinmoy, Three hundred sixty-five Father's Day prayers, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
