"Surrender to the Divine is the best emotional protection." -- The Mother
We view Thee as heedless and sadistic fate
Playing with us,deep buried in ignorance blind
When hardships strike us,challenging our state
We blame Thee as mysterious destiny unkind;
An easy way to convince our egoistic brain
Forgetting our past sins we fondly moan
Hiding our guilty acts with stress and strain
Not bold enough our latent faults to own;
Who can measure Thy boundless love for all ?
Thou Ocean of Mercy beyond our surmise !
The basest sinners with love you perceive
Patiently waiting for our earnest call ;
Forgiving us with redeeming patience wise;
Our woes, just ways Thy blessings to receive.

Note: In this sonnet I have blended the octave (first eight lines) of the
Shakespearean pattern with the sestet (six lines) of the Miltonic
pattern to produce variety in movement and rhythm.
