 ren~not that Thou art slow to bless but because we are so tardy to be blessed. Make us eager, a left to be blessed. And even as we are thus blessed in Thee, may that bountiful blessing reach forth into Thy whole creation ! And thus may the whole creation be blessed in Thee and Thou blessed of it, now and for ever! May this little, tiny little harbour, haven, shrine that we hold dear as the Ashramam, may that for ever be made sacred with Thine own effulgent presence! And may all that are harboured in it, all that are interested in it, all that Wish well of it, be blessed with the blessing of Thine own direct presence and intimate companionship! Thus Thy kingdom be established and Thy love abide supreme; thus mayst Thou, the Lord of Righteousness, be the sole Sovereign from the beginning to the close of time, from end to end of illimitable space; thus mayst Thou be all-in-all and we find our all-in-all in Thee! Blessed, blessed, blessed be Thou now and for ever!
