O Thou
Dweller in my heart,
Open it out,
Purify it,
Make it bright and beautiful.
Awaken it,
Prepare it,
Make it fearless,
Make it a blessing to others.
Rid it of laziness,
Free it from doubt,
Unite it with all,
Destroy its bondage.
Let thy peaceful music
Pervade all its works.
Make my heart
Full of joy,
Full of joy,
Full of joy.
~ A favorite prayer of Gandhi
