Prayer

November 16, 1998

Sri Aurobindo before Thee I place this prayer.

Sincerity first, above all else bestow,

The Will to surrender, all narrowness forswear,

Annihilation of the awesome foe,

Calm to front the chaos of the days,

Humility before the Divine in waking and sleep,

Her Name upon my lips, my soul to keep,

Strength to stay the long and arduous ways.

Humility on waking and in sleep.
