"Teach me, O Spirit,
to love Thee
as whole-heartedly as the miser loves his money.
Make me
as attached to Thee
as the drunkard is addicted to wine.
Teach me
to cling to Thee
as erring ones do to their bad habits.
Teach me
to be as attentive to Thee
as a mother is to her child.
Teach me
to perform my duties diligently,
with my attention fully riveted on Thee.
Teach me
to love Thee
as the worldly man loves his possession.
With the first love of true lovers,
teach me to love Thee."
Yogananda (Whispers of Eternity, pp 82-83.)--
