O Thou Eternal Light of the
Universe,
Thou art the Source of my life,
my inspiration and my joy.
May my gaze ever remain fixed on Thee;
May it never turn back upon myself.
Help me to keep my spiritual fire burning;
May I never let it grow dim or be extinguished.
May I devote my whole heart to Thy service,
And find my strength ever in Thee.
- Swami Paramananda
