ABUNDANT JOY OF SENTIMENTS
:31: TO BECOME A VICTOR OF THE WORLD YOU
MAKE ME VICTOR OF THE LORD OF THE
WORLD
Oh Victor of the world!
You win over my ego.
You remove my instinct of enmity after defeating it.
My partical attiude favouring evils, you destroy to the ground.
You defeat my intensive desire to earn name and fame in the world.
You totally destroy the army of my abnormal lust.
You tear-off black, poisonous serpent of illusion.
Extinguish the fire of my old friend anger.
You finish off the witch of cruelty, hard-heartedness.
Then only, in the real sense, you will become the victor of the world.
Against you, only in my defeat, there is my well being.
In the obstinacy to win against you, I have harmed myself.
Now my defeat is O.K. with me. I like it.
By getting even defeated against you, I want to win.
Oh Lord of the world!
Today I also want to tell you one more thing of my heart. You may be the victor of the world, I want to become the victor of the lord of the world.
