I pray so that

1.

```

I pray

So that I can play

With my Lord's Compassion-Eye

Every day at least for an hour. ```

2.

```

I pray

So that I can become

An illumining ray

Of my Lord Supreme

In His Task

Of world-transformation. ```

3.

```

I pray

So that I do not remain

An unaspiring, meaningless

And useless

Lump of clay.

```

4.

```

I pray

So that every day

I can celebrate

As God's Victory-Day

Inside my gratitude-heart.

```

5.

```

I pray

So that my Lord's Way

Becomes my way,

My only way. ```

6.

```

I pray

So that I can realise

That God-Compassion

And God-Forgiveness

Pay my wages

For my aspiration and dedication

Infinitely more than I deserve.

```

7.

```

I pray

So that I do not have to delay

When the final hour strikes

For the complete transformation

Of my human nature.

```

8.

```

I pray

So that I do not allow

The sword of my impurity-mind

To slay my purity-heart. ```

9.

```

I pray

So that my mind of complexity

Can stay

Inside my heart of simplicity

Which is nothing other

Than visible divinity on earth. ```

10.

```

I pray

So that I never betray

My ever-indulgent

Compassion-Lord Supreme. ```

11.

```

I pray

So that every day I can feel

The same joy

As I feel on my birthday.

Then every day

I can make a soulful promise

To become a choice instrument

Of my Lord Supreme,

As I do on my birthday.

```

12.

```

I pray

So that I never

Become disheartened

While I essay to bring about

The complete transformation

Of my nature. ```

13.

```

I pray

So that I can compel

My earth-bound mind

To obey

My Heaven-free soul.

```

14.

```

I pray

So that I do not

Give up working

On my nature's transformation

Only halfway

As many ill-fated seekers do. ```

15.

```

I pray

So that I do not doubt

When my heart is eager

To convey

Blessingful messages to me

From my Beloved Supreme. ```

16.

```

I pray

So that my Lord examines me

Every day with His X-ray

To see if my mind is assailed

By dark doubts.

```

17.

```

I pray

So that my heart's

Aspiration-tree

And my soul's

Manifestation-plant

Never decay. ```

18.

```

I pray

So that I do not become a prey

To ignorance-sea

Even in my unconscious moments

And unconscious movements.

```

19.

```

I pray

So that I do not disobey

My sweet Lord

Even when my impure vital,

My dark mind

And my insecure heart

Torture me ruthlessly.

```

20.

```

I pray

So that every day I can offer

A new surrender-heart

And a new gratitude-life

To my Beloved Supreme.

```

21.

```

I pray

So that my heart's faith-sword

Can easily slay

The haughty heads

Of my shameless doubts.

```

22.

```

I pray

So that my aspiration-heart

And my dedication-life

Can weigh measureless weights. ```

23.

```

I pray

So that every day

I can relay the message

Of my Lord's Victory-Day. ```

24.

```

I pray

So that I do not lose

The fragrance of my heart's

Security-perfume. ```

25.

```

I pray

So that every day

I can enjoy the feast

Of God-manifesting possibilities. ```

26.

```

I pray

So that I can

Completely erase

The failure-life of centuries. ```

27.

```

I pray

So that every seeker's faith

May return

From its mind-exile. ```

28.

```

I pray

So that every day

I can tell the world

That the taste

Of God's Compassion-Biscuit

Is by far the best. ```

29.

```

I pray

So that every day

I can see a hope-bud

Blossoming inside my heart. ```

30.

```

I pray

So that every day

My inner life

Remains alarmed

And my outer life

Remains unharmed. ```

31.

```

I pray

So that like God, I too

Will never remain

Unemployed. ```

32.

```

I pray

So that I remember

That a life of relaxation

Can never escape the torture

Of unmistakable taxation.

```

33.

```

I pray

So that God

Does not give me

An undeserved inner promotion. ```

34.

```

I pray

So that the perfection

Of my dream-world

And the aspiration

Of my reality-world

Do not collide. ```

35.

```

I pray

So that every day

I can see my Beloved Supreme

Watering my heart's faith-plant

With His Infinity's Compassion-Eye.

```

36.

```

I pray

So that every day

I can confide in my soul,

My confidence-counsellor. ```

37.

```

I pray

So that I can forget

Even the very existence

Of my former employer:

Ignorance.

```

38.

```

I pray

So that every day

The seeker-traveller in me

Walks only on truth-trail. ```

39.

```

I pray

So that every day

The vision-musician in me

And the perfection-music in me

Remain extremely fond

Of each other. ```

40.

```

I pray

So that my Beloved Supreme

Keeps my doubting mind

Out of service,

Even temporarily.

```

41.

```

I pray

So that every day

I can see and feel

The oneness

Between my aspiration

And my Lord's Satisfaction. ```

42.

```

I pray

So that I can synchronise

My heart's inner choice

With my life's outer voice. ```

43.

```

I pray

So that I can soon see

The complete collapse

Of my unbearably tall

Self-image.

```

44.

```

I pray

So that my doubtful mind

Does not dare to forge

My faithful heart's signature. ```

45.

```

I pray

So that my invisible soul

Can secretly make

My visible heart invincible. ```

46.

```

I pray

So that I can learn

That my self-reproach

Is by no means God-approach. ```

47.

```

I pray

So that my Beloved Supreme

And I together

Whistle our sweet and fond

Oneness-song.
