Teach me to see Thine Omnipresent Spirit suffering in the sick, from Whispers from Eternity, by Paramhansa Yogananda

193
Teach me to see Thine Omnipresent Spirit suffering in the sick.

Teach me to feel that, but for the right use of Thy grace and wisdom, I might have been lame, leprous or blind; and, no matter if I deserved to be lame or blind, I would earnestly crave to be healed.

So do Thou make me feel, whenever I see halt or sorrow-shattered men, that it is Thine Omnipresent Spirit suffering in those forms; and teach me to install in them the health and peace resting in my dwelling of flesh.

Teach me to sympathize with others' cries, wants and sufferings, that I may fight to free them, even as I would fight to free myself.

Craving, struggling, weeping, and smiling for all, may I at last find Myself in all.
