Teach me to fish for Thee in the deep waters of my Soul from Whispers from Eternity, by Paramhansa Yogananda

Teach me to fish for Thee in the deep waters of my Soul.

I went to catch Thee in the deep waters of super-consciousness. Little fishes of inspiration nibbled at my bait of meditation. The float of my concentration wavered, but every time I pulled, I missed Thee.

I spread my meditation-bait with love's spices: the little fishes tugged at it, and I watched the float of my mind with attentive zeal. Lo! my mind's float vanished beneath Thy bliss-waves.

O Colossal Denizen of my consciousness, I pulled at Thee, and with a bound Thou didst leap to the shores of my heart. Teach me to fish for Thee in the deep waters of my soul.
