Understand, O mind,

why should you study?

You are such a slave of the system!

Is that your purpose?

O Lord, my purpose of life is you,

my love of life is you,

then why study and work?

What good is study and work

if it leads me away from you?

I have no power, Lord,

all my efforts have failed.

Free me, Lord, if it pleases you,

to be of your service alone.
