445. My lord who brought me from my mother’s womb
helped me control the desires of my five senses,
removed the craving of this body of nerves and flesh,
and kept the messengers of Yama
from binding me with ropes and taking me away.
He taught me to become his devotee night and day and serve him.
My body is not the same as it was.
God is in it now and he protects me.
