```

Ambition, my friend unparalleled,

You are helping me

To come out of lethargy-destruction.

Ambition, my friend unparalleled,

You are helping me

To smash asunder the heavy and tight shackles

Of frustration-slavery.

Ambition, my friend unparalleled,

You are helping my mind

To free its luminous vision

From the prison of teeming doubts.

Ambition, my friend unparalleled,

You are helping my heart

To free its marvellous peace

From the cave of torturing insecurity.

Ambition, my friend unparalleled,

You are helping my soul

To dream in and through me

Clearly, swiftly,

Powerfully and triumphantly.

Ambition, my friend unparalleled,

You are serving my Beloved Supreme

To make me a perfect instrument of His,

Cheerfully, sleeplessly and unreservedly.

Ambition, my friend unparalleled,

When I use you divinely

I create not only a satisfaction-world within me

But also a promise-world for the entire world.

I create a new dawn for me.

I create a challenging and fulfilling reality

For the whole world.

Ambition, my friend unparalleled,

When I undivinely use you,

I destroy my inner world

That wants to grow and glow.

And I also destroy my outer world

That wants to ascend and transcend.

Ambition, my friend unparalleled,

I shall always use you

In a divine way

So that you can at every moment be proud of

My sincerity, my dedication and my transformation.
