"You can get everything you want if you help enough others get what they want."

I am a gypsy-soul belonging to the barren earth and an empress of the fragrant, grand garden Thou art.  Why should I not take pride for becoming a lover of Thine?

        I am a pilgrim of dry land and a beauty queen of the evergreen region Thou art.  Why should I not consider myself fortunate for falling in love with the Self of Thine?

        I am an individual monument of ugliness and a great goddess, an ornament of loveliness Thou art.  Why should I not feel proud of the fascination Thou felt for the sake of mine?

        I am penniless and a captive bound by worldly bondages and a wealthy, liberated, queen of loveliness thou art.  Why should I not take pride in becoming an ornament of Thine?  Why should I not consider fateful the self of mine?

(From Shri Yogeshwarji's book entitled 'Tunes unto the Infinite')
