by Sri Chinmoy

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
My life has to be rooted and grounded
In my sleepless love of God.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
I must first have sleepless
And breathless love for You.
Only then can I have
Abiding faith in You.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

Out of Your infinite Bounty,
Every day You allow me
To have a lovely and lively
Conversation with You
At least for an hour.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

May my heart’s new hopes
And my soul’s new promises
Replace my mind’s old doubts
And old fears.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
At every moment each seeker has to be
Extremely alert.
At any moment his spiritual life
Can descend into steep decline.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!
