Desire that is so Known (2/40)

The one that begs in longing,
Seeks the generosity of the one that gives,
Saying, ''Kindly listen to my prayer
And grant me the favor.''
Unto it,
''Do Thou listen to my prayer,
Oh, All Pervasive Being!
I am of wooden heart,
Pray, have pity on me!''
Thus in silentness to be
In the heavenly state of Grace,
Is that the transcendental samadhi,
Oh, Thou, Being Pervasive?
