Weightlifting

 

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
My mind,
Come, come, come!
Be brave, be brave, be brave!
Be pure, be pure, be pure!
Be prayerful, be prayerful, be prayerful!
Be soulful, be soulful, be soulful!
Surrender, surrender, surrender!
This is the time to surrender, my mind.
My Lord’s infinite Patience
Does not astonish you?
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

– Sri Chinmoy

Is my Master’s home,
Only home.

I must not roam
