If I am praying for wealth,
Then crush me to poverty.
If I am praying for heaven,
Then throw me to hell.
If I am praying for freedom,
Then chain me with shackles.
If I am praying for joys,
Then fill me with sorrows.
But if I am praying for You alone.
O my Love!
Then only embrace me.
~Sw. Chidananda Tirtha
