My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme,
Many, many difficulties I have
In every aspect of my life.
That does not mean
That I shall doubt You
Or I shall doubt myself.
No, I shall just take shelter
Under Your Protection-Canopy,
And with the help
Of Your Compassion-flooded Eye,
I shall conquer all my difficulties
Within and without.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

– Sri Chinmoy
