261. Man forgets

Man forgets
That his vital is swayed by desires.

Man forgets
That his mind constantly wanders.

Man forgets
That his days on earth are short.

Man forgets
That his real needs are very few.

Man forgets
That he has only God to call his own,
His very own.
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 6, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
