Shrink my bloated ego, make me small
that I may make your being larger.
Let only a fraction of my megalomaniac self
be left that I may never hide you in my being.
Let my will shrivel and remain tiny
that I may feel you on all sides
coming to you always for all my needs
and offer my love constantly to you.
Let only those little fetters that bind
me with your will be left
so that your resolve is carried out in my life
and these are the restraints of your love.
Adopted from Tagore’s Gitanjali, poem 34
