From the Spiritual Diary, August 5, Surrender to God: I am Thine, O Lord! I will make myself worthy of Thine acceptance. I will not make a burnt offering unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. I will lay myself, with all my prejudices and pettiness, with all the flesh holds dear, upon the burning pyre. I will lift my heart daily to Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswarji, and my Guru Paramahansa Yoganandaji, asking for their many-jewelled gifts of Self-realization. In the stillness of the night, out of the depth of my heart I will cry: "Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth." When the call to disagreeable duty is sounded, I will answer, "Here am I, Lord; send me." - Sri Gyanamata, "God Alone: The Life and Letters of a Saint"
