If we start our day with this prayer, we may become recipients of God's grace. Without God's grace we are blind drivers. Since we are all children of the One Supreme Lover and Source of all that exists, we are also sparks of that love. Let love be our basis of life. Love asks for nothing, expects nothing, never trades anything including the body, mind and intellect. It desires no name and fame and is devoid of self-love or self propagation. Love sacrifices for the sake of the Lover.

The worldly man -- due to lust, greed and desire for fame -- is dumb. His pride and vanity cripple him. They are obstacles in the path of Joy. A lover of Truth, however, receives the grace of God, which is sufficient to overcome all obstacles, even if they are larger than the Himalayas, and however stupid a person may be, he/she will soon become divine.

This is a prayer of hope for those who are humble. This is an assurance to true freedom from the bondage of desires, passions and delusions.

May we have this prayer lodged in our heart and in our every breath until the last.
