<strong>Prayer</strong><br />

LORD OF HUMILITY<br />

Lord of humility, dwelling in the<br />

little pariah hut<br />

help us to reach for Thee throughout<br />

that fair land<br />

watered by Ganges, Brahmaputra<br />

and Jamuna.<br />

Give us receptiveness, give us open-heartedness,<br />

give us Thy humility, give us<br />

the ability and willingness<br />

to identify ourselves with the<br />

masses of India.<br />

O God, who does help only when man<br />

feels utterly humble,<br />

grant that we may not be<br />

isolated from the people<br />

we would serve as servants and friends.<br />

Let us be embodiments of self-sacrifice,<br />

embodiments of godliness,<br />

humility personified, that we<br />

may know the land better<br />

and love it more.<br />

Harijan, 11-9-'49, p. 217<br />
