"I am still not satisfied with the form of the prayer. It's the evening of the 9th. I want to express myself differently: I don't want anything for the future, knowing that everything will be good, I don't want people's praise either, knowing that my purpose is not in people's love for me, but in my love for them, love with deed, with word, with thought.

I am still not satisfied with the form of the prayer. It's the evening of the 9th. I want to express myself differently: I don't want anything for the future, knowing that everything will be good, I don't want people's praise either, knowing that my purpose is not in people's love for me, but in my love for them, love with deed, with word, with thought.
""Tot nu sunt mulțumit de forma rugăciunii. E seara zilei de 9. Vreau să mă exprim altfel: Nu doresc nimic pentru viitor, știind ca tot ce va fi va fi bine, nu doresc nici laudele oamenilor, știind că rostul meu nu e în iubirea oamenilor pentru mine, ci în iubirea mea pentru ei, iubire cu fapta, cu vorba, cu gândul."
