47. Receptivity

Acceptance
Is our first receptivity
In our aspiration-life.

    Rejection
Is our second receptivity
In our aspiration-life.

    Surrendered oneness to reality's height
Is our third receptivity
In our aspiration-life.

    What do we accept?
We accept God-Light in all.
    What do we reject?
We reject our
Conscious influence-night
    In others' lives.

    What do we surrender?
We surrender our ignorance-pride
To God's Compassion-Sea.
Sri Chinmoy, Beauty-Drops, Agni Press, 1975
