What do I need?

The stone existence in me
Needs more awareness.

The plant existence in me
Needs more confidence.

The animal existence in me
Needs more compassion.

The human existence in me
Needs more forgiveness-capacity.

The divine existence in me
Needs more aspiration-beauty.

The supreme Existence in me
Needs more satisfaction-delight.

And what do I need?
I need the fragrance of surrender-life.
Sri Chinmoy, Aurora-Flora, Agni Press, 1982
