561. Come and go, come and stay

Fear, the timid guest,
Comes and goes.

Doubt, the bold guest,
Comes and goes.

Jealousy, the clever guest,
Comes and goes.

Compassion, the kind guest,
Comes and stays.

Light, the beautiful guest,
Comes and stays.

Bliss, the sweet guest,
Comes and stays.

God, the silent Guest,
Comes, stays and never goes.
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 12, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
