Prayer of June 4, 2004

Divine Mother,

I am ready. Take everything from me, all resistance to the Light, all doubt of fitness for the yoga, all feelings of inadequacy and inability, all intolerance of others and myself. Eradicate all desire, all sense of separateness, obliterate the tablets of the past, expunge all clinging sorrow and fix these eyes on the future which is golden, which is Thee.

With thy force annihilate the ego, reduce all impatience and anger to dust, permit me to see all beings as thy children and eliminate all sense of the individual worker. Whether by fashioning in the forge if this nature is unyielding or by gentle moulding of thy fashioning hand, make me an instrument for thy work.

I ask only that you allow my devotion to Thee and Sri Aurobindo to increase with the hours, my surrender and offering to grow more complete and in a total consecration of my being, with an inexpressible joy and gratitude, become more conscious of Thy presence guiding the earth and men towards their divine destiny.

At Thy Feet,

Narad
