MEN'S ETERNAL QUEST
"MY LORD, WORK THOU THROUGH MY HANDS; THEY WERE MADE TO SERVE THEE AND TO PICK FLOWERS FOR THY TEMPLE. MINE EYES WERE MADE TO BEHOLD THY PRESENCE IN THE FLICKERING STARS, IN THE EYES OF SOULFUL DEVOTEES; MY FEET WERE MADE TO TAKE ME TO THY TEMPLES EVERYWHERE TO SIP THE NECTAR OF THY SERMONS TO SEEKING SOULS, - MY VOICE WAS MADE ONLY TO SPEAK OF THEE. I TASTE WHOLESOME FOOD THAT I MAY BE REMINDED OF THINE ALL-NOURISHING GOODNESS; I INHALE THE PERFUME OF FLOWERS THAT I MAY BREATHE THY FRAGRANT PRESENCE THERE. I DEDICATE MY THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, AND LOVE TO THEE. ALL MY SENSES ARE IN HARMONY WITH THY CELESTIAL ORCHESTRA OF FRAGRANCE, BEAUTY, AND JOY PLAYING THEIR REFRAIN IN THE ETERNAL SYMPHONY OF THE COSMOS.
"LEAD ME FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT. LEAD ME FROM HATRED TO LOVE. LEAD ME FROM LIMITATIONS TO THINE INEXHAUSTIBLE POWER, - LEAD ME FROM IGNORANCE TO WISDOM. LEAD ME FROM SUFFERING AND DEATH TO EVERLASTING LIFE AND ENJOYMENT IN THEE. ABOVE ALL, LEAD ME FROM THE DELUSION OF HUMAN ATTACHMENT INTO REALIZATION OF THY LOVE ETERNAL, WHICH PLAYS HIDE-AND-SEEK WITH ME IN ALL FORMS OF HUMAN LOVE.
"FATHER, MOTHER, FRIEND, BELOVED GOD, REVEAL THYSELF UNTO ME! LEAVE ME IN IGNORANCE NO LONGER. ALL DELUSION I CAST FROM THE SACRED SHRINE OF MY SOUL. BE THOU THE ONLY KING SITTING ON THE THRONE OF MY AMBITIONS, THE ONLY QUEEN IN THE CASTLE OF MY LOVE, THE ONLY DEITY IN THE TEMPLE OF MY SOUL. KEEP ME AWAKE IN THY CONSCIOUSNESS, THAT I MAY PRAY AND DEMAND UNCEASINGLY UNTIL THOU DOST OPEN ALL DOORS INTO THY HOME OF WISDOM, AND THERE RECEIVE ME, THY PRODIGAL CHILD, AND ENTERTAIN ME WITH THE FATTED CALF OF IMMORTALITY AND ETERNAL JOY."
