Deo I: Izlaganje

Davalac i primalac¹

Moj Gospode Svevišnji, Ti prihvataš od mene moje teške brige i zebnje kao da su to izuzetno lepe stvari.

Moj Gospode Svevišnji, Ti prihvataš od mene moje otrovne sumnje kao da su to stvari izuzetno pune smisla.

Moj Gospode Svevišnji, Ti prihvataš od mene moju neumornu nesigurnost i moju beskrajnu nečistotu kao da su to stvari koje će ulepšati Tvoje Srce.

Moj Gospode Svevišnji, Ti prihvataš od mene okean moje nezahvalnosti kao da je to nešto što će Ti bogato udovoljiti.

Moj Gospode Svevišnji, kad mi daješ Tvoj Mir, Tvoju Ljubav, Tvoju Radost, Tvoju Samilost i Tvoj božanski Blagoslov u ogromnim količinama, radostan sam, istina. Ali Tvoja Radost, dok mi je daješ, daleko prevazilazi moju radost uprkos činjenici da sam ja onaj koji prima, a Ti onaj koji daje.

Moj Gospode Svevišnji, kad Ti bezrezervno dajem svoje nebožanske osobine, Ti dobijaš mnogo više radosti i zadovoljstva u primanju nego ja u davanju.

My Lord Supreme, You are always great. You are always good. Will there ever be a time when I shall be able to defeat You in anything?

"My child, you have already defeated Me."

I have defeated You? Impossible, my Lord, impossible! How can I ever defeat You? Tell me, how?

“My child, I need you infinitely more than you need Me. My need for you far surpasses your need for Me. Does this not prove that you have defeated Me badly?”

"Now let Me explain to you this secret and sacred philosophy of Mine. You do not know who you are, but I know who you are. You think that you are ignorance incarnate, but I see you as an experience of Mine. I see you as My own evolving Life. I see you as My own dream-manifesting Reality.

"It is not you; it is I. It is not yours; it is Mine. It is I who am always in the process of unveiling and becoming, and becoming and unveiling. Thus it is I who sing in and through you My Eternity's Song: Oneness. It is I who dance in and through you My Infinity's Dance: Perfection. It is I who cry and smile, and smile and cry, in and through you My Immortality's Silence-Sound: Satisfaction."
