The wise say, those who wholly dedicate their being to the Lord, receive from Him the gift of His whole self, forever, now.. how irresistible this promise sounds! But irresistible to whom or what? The ego hears this promise; makes of it what ego shapes; so offers not the whole, the being; but what ego’s made of it… And yet, this is a start – to offer Him not being, gift-wrapped in entirety, but more, a catalogue: of all that mind knows of itself; all that it knows it’s not.. O Lord, my heart I offer to You, whole; my mind, but part by part; in sum, my soul!
