When I pray, I seek blessings

I seek peace

I seek wisdom,

I seek light.

I pray for the soul to be liberated

From fear

From attachments

From constraints

All the things that keep pulling me behind.

I seek survival

I seek progress

I seek rebirth

From fearfulness to fearlessness

From scarcity to abundance

From stagnation to the ever-flowing river

From a barren field to a flowering meadow

From a parched land to a rain-bathed garden

From ‘I’ to ‘You’

From ‘one’ to ‘zero’ –

I seek

The liberation from everything that makes me wander

For I seek blessings to become the supreme wonder.
