Training the Mind: Cherishing Others as Supreme | Jnanavaca

May I always cherish all beings With the resolve to accomplish for them The highest good that is more precious Than any wish-fulfilling jewel. Whenever I am in the company of others, May I regard myself as inferior to all, And from the depths of my heart Cherish others as supreme. In all my actions may I watch my mind, And as soon as disturbing emotions arise, May I forcefully stop them at once, Since they hurt both me and others. When I see ill-natured people, Overwhelmed by wrong deeds and pain, May I cherish them as something rare, As though I had found a treasure-trove. When someone out of envy does me wrong, By insulting me and the like, May I accept defeat, And offer victory to them. Even if someone whom I have helped And in whom I have placed my hopes Does great wrong by harming me, May I see them as an excellent spiritual friend. In brief, directly or indirectly, May I give all help and joy to my mothers, And may I take all their harm and pain Secretly upon myself. May none of this ever be sullied By thoughts of the eight worldly concerns. May I see all things as illusions And, without attachment, gain freedom from bondage.
