Demand to set fire to the Forest of Darkness, from Whispers from Eternity, by Paramhansa Yogananda

Demand to set fire to the Forest of Darkness.

I built a fire of devotion in the dark forest of delusion, but the fire only smouldered. Then, Thou didst come and set fire to a few frailties. Thy fire quickly spread over the bushes of my prickly desires, over my tall vanities, and through the thick underbrush of my arrogances. The whole forest of my darkness is blazing, and Thy light I behold, everywhere. I thank Thee, Father, for Thy help. Help me thus always—I want to create a path of light for all!
