This prayer is an invitation to endless progress.

January 9, 1914

O LORD, unseizable reality, Thou who constantly escapest before our conquering advance even though it is effective, and who wilt always be the Unknown in spite of all that we shall learn to know of Thee, in spite of all that we shall have ravished from Thy eternal mystery, we would, with a complete and constant effort, combining the multiple paths which lead towards Thee, advance like a rising and indomitable flood, breaking all obstacles, crossing all barriers, lifting all veils, dispersing all clouds, piercing all darknesses, advance towards Thee, always towards Thee with a movement so powerful, so irresistible, that a whole multitude will be swept on behind us, and the earth conscious of Thy new and eternal Presence will understand at last what are her true ends, and live in the harmony and peace of Thy sovereign realisation.

Teach us ever more,
Enlighten us more and more,
Dispel our ignorance,
Illumine our minds,
Transfigure our hearts and give us that Love which never fades and make Thy sweet law blossom in every being.

We are Thine to all eternity.”

The text above is quoted from the Third Edition, 1954 (translation by Rishabhchand Samsukha)
