861. My daughter

```

My daughter,

Of late I have been thinking and thinking

Of granting you a Transcendental Boon.

Just tell Me what you want.

“Father, my Eternally Beloved Father,

This is the Boon I would like

To have from You:

Please never, never dream

Of making me equal to You.

You know, Father,

There is only one thing on earth

That gives me infinite joy,

And that is to sit at Your Feet

And drink the Nectar-Delight

Of Your Eyes.

Your Feet are my only

Heaven and Haven.

If I equal You

My life of devotion will die,

My life of surrender will die.

To me, my devotion is everything;

To me, my surrender is everything.

Father, I pray and pray to You

To live above me at least a trillion miles

Forever

So that I can, through eternity,

Live at Your Feet

And

Treasure Your Feet.”

```
