Sacrifice your ego,
And you will realize the self.
Let all in the world be before the "I".
Know to give, give to know God.
All that you gave was never yours.
Give to forget, and not to remember or expect.
Sacrifice will emit your beauty within.
The pain of it, itself, becomes your healing.
The love behind it, itself, becomes your way to Me.
Your sadhana of sacrifice
Becomes your way to Me.
Place Me in all, and put the all before the "I".
Then God will always be before you,
And you will be in His shadow forever.
