My Lord heard my prayer
There was a timeWhen I lived in the cave
Of animal-consciousness-night.
My Lord heard my prayer-cry;
Therefore
I now live in the palace
Of human-consciousness-light.
I am sure
My Lord shall continue to hear my prayer-cry;
Therefore
I shall one day live in the kingdom
Of Divine-Consciousness-Sun.
