This is my prayer to thee, my lord-strike,
strike at the root of penury in my heart.
Give me the strength lightly to bear my
joys and my sorrows.
Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.
Give me the strength never to disown the poor Or bend my knees before insolent might- Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifle.
And give me the strength to surrender
my strength to thy will with love.
- Rabindranath Tagore

May all in this world be happy,
may they be healthy,
may they be comfortable
and never miserable.
May the rain come down in the proper time,
may the earth yield plenty of corn,
may the country be free from war,
may the Brahmans be secure.
