27 September 19801
Body, my stupid body,I shall no longer allow you
To have an inordinate hunger.
Vital, my shameless vital,
I shall no longer allow you
To have an insatiable thirst.
Mind, my clever mind,
I shall no longer allow myself
To fall under the sweep of your arguments.
Heart, my hopeless heart,
I shall no longer allow you
To remain timidity-incarnate.
Soul, my former friend,
I shall no longer allow you
To remain indifferent towards me.
God, my bountiful God,
I shall no longer allow myself
To remain unconscious of Your Compassion-Sky.
This message was given in the evening at Sri Chinmoy's home.↩
