3527. Before you think of realising God
Before you think of realising God,You must pray for His Forgiveness.
Before you pray for His Forgiveness,
You must care for your
Inseparable mutual oneness.
Before you care for your inseparable oneness,
You must in silence repeat:
“God for God’s sake,
Not for my own sake;
God for God’s own Transcendental Victory,
Not for my desire-bound,
Ignorance-fond life.”
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 36, Agni Press, 1982
