My Dear Sweet Omniscience, I relinquish my petty, overwhelming concerns to you. I know your fullness will swallow them up—so that I too, may be absorbed into your whole. Give me the strength to remember to employ the noble yamas [abstinences] and niyamas [observances] in all my circumstances, that I may be purified; and mostly, so that my mind will remain on you, for you and with you. With ardent love and devotion.— Dolores Burns
