350. UNDERESTIMATION AND OVERESTIMATION
When I underestimatedMy Power,
God placed me on His throne of Bliss.
When I underestimated
My Light,
God offered me His Garland of Victory.
When I overestimated
My Power,
Satan demanded and confiscated my passport.
When I overestimated
My Light,
Death mocked my height
And
Deported me into the Land of Destruction-Night.
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, Part 7, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
