If over the years
You have lost instead of intensifiedThe inspiration, aspiration,
Inner joy and thrillThat you had when you first accepted
The spiritual life,Then you must strive to bring back
Your original intensity and eagerness.Only then will you once again feel
The utmost sweetness and lovelinessOf your spiritual quest.
