When I See Myself
When I see myself through my own eyes,
I see and feel that my life is not
An inch better than the life of a beast.
When I see myself through God’s Eye,
I see and feel that I am
On the fair road to Godhood.
Sri Chinmoy, Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants Songbook, part 3, Agni Press, New York, 1997
