12.2 My inability is not my liability—my unavailability is

You have the power unsurpassable 

To make my words understandable.

My inability is not my liability—my unavailability is

alaṅkṛta koribār khamatā tomār

You have the power unsurpassable
To make my words understandable.

My dear Lord, you are capable of making the impossible possible—and that means you can use me despite my inabilities. As Srila Prabhupada confidently declares, you can ornament his words so that even an utterly foreign American audience can understand them.

O most merciful Lord, please bless me with a drop of similar confidence in your omnipotence. When I am called upon to render some significant service—whether by the instruction of your representatives or by the need of the situation—let me not obsess over my inability. Let my inability never become an excuse for lethargy—or worse, for unavailability.

O Lord, the true liability that slows or stops me in your service is not my inability—but my unavailability.

You, O merciful Lord, protect me from such unavailability by urging me to always remember you. Such remembrance frees me from self-consciousness—the breeding ground of self-doubt that ends in self-sabotage.

Bless me, O benevolent Lord, to stop being so conscious of myself and to be more conscious of you—and of myself as your part. Let me offer my availability for you to act through me as you will.
