Page 31 - Your Extravagant Kindness
P. 31
Those who are kind see your kindness,
you reveal your perfection to the perceptive,
your purity is seen by those who are single-hearted,
the rebellious wrestle with you.
You lift up the humble,
but lower the gaze of those who are proud.
O my Guardian, you keep my lamp kindled,
you turn darkness into light;
with your help I could move past obstacles,
with you I could circumvent any barrier.
Your way, O Godde, is perfect.
Our Guardian's word is flawless.
Godde shields all who seek refuge.
Is there any godde beside our Guardian?
Isn't Godde our Ground of Being?
My Guardian clothes me with strength
and keeps me surefooted.
Godde makes my feet as agile as a deer's,
enabling me to stand upon the heights.
Godde, train my hands,
let my arms shape bronze,
for your saving help is my shield;
your right hand sustains me
your humility creates greatness.
You provide a safe path for me
so that my ankles do not give way.
Pursue my inner enemies,
overtake them – transform me.
