Vadan Alapas

Wide space, the womb of my heart, conceive my thought,
I pray, and give birth to my desire.

Every soul's longing am I; every heart hears My call;

everyone feels My impulse, My friend as well as My foe.

My thoughts I have sown on the soil of your mind; My

love has penetrated your heart; My word I have put into
your mouth; My light has illuminated your whole being; My

work I have given into your hand.

We have made all forms in order to complete the

image of man.

One day I met the Lord face to face, and, bending
my knees, I prayed, "Tell me, O King of Compassion, is

it Thou who punishest the sinner and givest rewards to the
virtuous one?" and said He, smiling, "the sinner attracts his

punishment; the virtuous earns his reward."
