My looks are not attractive. Then how can I remember and conceive the beautiful? Lord the fulfiller of desires Lord? My eyes are not good looking; then how can I see the glimpse of that beloved Lord?
My tongue is not ambrosial. Then how can I make an effective request to my beloved? I do not have such power of hearing that I can enjoy the honey-like words of my beloved Lord?
I am weak and imperfect in every part of my body. Then how can I make a superior rosary of remembrance of my Lord's name? I have no I can bank upon to wash the feet of my beloved.
I do not have the temperament of service in my heart; so I cannot reach for the service of my beloved. Nor do I have that devotion through which I can become one with the greatness of the dear Lord. (The greatness of the Lord may reside in me.) (640)
