Now Thou shalt do as seems fit to Thee; if thou wilt, save me, or slay me if Thou wilt; keep me near Thee or far from Thee; bring me back into the world or not. I have sought Thee, all ignorant, I know nothing of faith and devotion. I am void of all understanding, needy and worse than needy. I cannot steady my mind, I cannot rule my wayward senses; I have exhausted every effort; peace and rest are far from me. I have offered thee perfect faith, I have laid my life at Thy feet; do now as Thou wilt, I can only look to Thee; O God, I trust in Thee, I cling firmly to Thy robe. Tuka says, It is for you to deal with my efforts.
