Poems

The following poems are selected from Sri Chinmoy’s book. My California Redwoods, which he wrote on the bus returning to New York from Sports Day in New Paltz, August 21. 1974.

Confidence

My beloved Father-Lord,
I need ceaseless confidence
To claim You as my Eternity’s own.

"My daughter,
Your life-river
Has already claimed Me
As its Eternity's own,
But you have to do something more:
You have to constantly feel
That My Vision-height
Loves you infinitely more
Than you love your earth-existence-life
And Heaven-transcendence-light.”
