Let me not pray to be sheltered from
dangers but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my
pain but for the heart to conquer it.
pain but for the heart to conquer it.
Let me not look for allies in life's
battlefield but to my own strength.
battlefield but to my own strength.
Let
me not crave in anxious fear
to be saved but hope for the patience
to win my freedom.
to be saved but hope for the patience
to win my freedom.
Grant me that I may not be a coward,
feeling our mercy in my success alone;
but let me find the grasp of your hand
in my failure.
feeling our mercy in my success alone;
but let me find the grasp of your hand
in my failure.
-Rabindranath Tagore
