My Lord Supreme,
When I devotedly pray and soulfully meditate,I can clearly see that my life is an open book to You.
But alas, no matter how hard I try to know aboutYour earthly life and Heavenly life, I sadly fail.
Therefore I am begging You to be kind to meAnd share some of Your secrets.
“My child,
I shall comply with your requestBut I do not know whether My secrets
Will make you happy or unhappy.Anyway, I leave it up to you.
“My secret number one:
Each time your desiring mindDefeats your aspiring heart,
I cry and cry.“My secret number two:
When you dine with your mind-doubtsAnd starve your heart-faith,
I cry and cry.“My secret number three:
Each time you do not allow your heartTo fulfil its Heaven-climbing promises,
I cry and cry.“My secret number four:
Each time you do not allow your soul to fulfilIts Heaven-manifesting promises on earth,
I cry and cry.“My secret number five:
When your life-boat pliesBetween your depression-vital-shore
And your frustration-mind-shore,I cry and cry.
“My secret number six:
When you become the most intimate friendOf your body’s idleness and your mind’s unwillingness,
I cry and cry.”My Lord Supreme,
I don’t know why I suddenly feel so tired and sleepy.It seems that You have literally endless secrets.
“Yes, my child.
I do.”Then, my Lord,
Some other dayI shall definitely hear more of Your secrets.
“My child, My child, wait, wait.
Only one more secret I wish to share with youBefore you fall asleep.
“This time, I am blessing you with My topmost secret:
You are My Today’s Self-Transcendence-DreamAnd My Tomorrow’s Self-Perfection-Satisfaction-Reality.
My Lord Supreme,
I am fast asleep.I cannot hear You anymore.
“My child, I am still fully awake.
I shall do everything for you.You enjoy your sweet sleep.”
```From:Sri Chinmoy,My Lord Supreme, I am falling asleep, Perfection-Glory, Augsburg, Germany, 1992
