33. My companions

```

Hope, my hope,

You are my conscious companion;

Therefore

I always like you.

Patience, my patience,

You are my conscious and constant companion;

Therefore

I always love you.

Surrender, my surrender,

You are my conscious, constant and

illumining companion;

Therefore

I always need you.
