吉檀迦利 36

翻译~大唐长安

    这是我的祈求，我的主啊——

    请你根除，我心灵匮乏的本源。

    赐我以力量去愉快承受无论欣喜还是哀伤。

    赐我以力量让爱在奉献中收获硕果。

    赐我以力量永不抛弃穷苦大众也永不向强权屈膝投降。

    赐我以力量让心神超越于凡俗的庸常之上。

    再赐我以力量心怀爱意将我的力量归于你的权杖。

This is my prayer to thee, my lord---

strike, strike at the root of penury in my heart.

Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.

Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.

Give me the strength never to disown the poor

or bend my knees before insolent might.

Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.

And give me the strength to surrender my strength to thy will with love.
