O Thou All-wise One, bestow
on my heart
the blessing of humility,
That I may learn joyfully the lessons that
come to me through this day.
Keep me fearless and steadfast in
my devotion to the Ideal.
May I never fail in my loyalty to It.
May I fasten my life to Thy Infinite Life,
And forget myself wholly in my service to Thee.
- Swami Paramananda
