In the same way that thou hast made me materially free, make me also spiritually independent and prosperous! \[Verses\]: Oh! God, make all the world my ill-wishers, And keep me apart from them all. Keep my heart from worldly matters, And cause me to have but one purpose and aim in life. - [Previous: 50.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.50.10) - [Next: 51](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.51) - [Up: 50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.50) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.50.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.50.11) · Pramāṇa
