Prayer of October 23, 1967

My dearest Lord,

Thou for whom I would aspire to give all I am or ever in this vast evolution shall be, help me to become aware of Thee with every breath and in every cell of my body.

I find so much narrowness in this being. To be fully consecrated – that certainly is the goal for me. To know Thy will at each moment, to listen only to Thy voice and to feel Thy hand moulding me into an instrument, a vehicle, an expression of Thee.

O Divine Mother, Thou who art the reason I breathe, let me grow in awareness of Thee. May my every breathe sound the mantra of Thy name.

Into the East West Cultural Center into which Thou has poured so much of Thy force, may I be of some service to Jyotipriya and to Thee.

May I assist her, who has surrendered all to Thee, a true disciple, Thy child and sadhikas of the integral yoga, casting away from me all desire for accomplishment, and all self-interest, to hear the tread of Thy footsteps across the path of Time, and know and love Thee increasingly, O Mother.

Om Anandamayi, Caitanyamayi, satyamayi, parame.
