Don't let surface things delude us,
But free us from what holds us back
(from our true purpose).
Don't let us enter forgetfulness,
the temptation of false appearances.
(To the fraud of inner vacillation -
like a flag tossed in the wind -
alert us.)
But break the hold of unripeness,
the inner stagnation that
prevents good fruit.
(From the evil of injustice -
one green fruit and the rotten -
grant us liberty.)
Deceived neither by the outer
nor the inner - free us to
walk your path with joy.
Keep us from hoarding false wealth,
and from the inner shame of
help not given in time.
Don't let surface things delude us,
But free us from what holds us back.
~ The Lord's Prayer / Prayer of the Cosmos ~
