UNSHAKEN MIND
As you wear shoes to tread over thorny places, or hold an umbrella to escape getting wet in rain or sleep inside a mosquito curtain to escape the stings of insects, so too, arm yourself with an unshaken mind that is confident of the Lord's Grace and bear with equanimity, praise or blame, defeat or victory, pleasure or pain.
(Gita Vahini - Chap XXIII)
O LORD, TAKE MY LOVE
O Lord, take my love, and let it flow in fullness of devotion to Thee;
O Lord, take my hands, and let them work incessantly for Thee;
O Lord, take my soul, and let it be merged in One with Thee;
O Lord, take my mind and thoughts, and let them be in tune with Thee;
O Lord, take my everything, and let me be an instrument to work for Thee.
