844. Lethargy, violence, doubt and fear

Lethargy is the pastime
Of my unprogressive body.

Violence is the pastime
Of my unsympathetic vital.

Doubt is the pastime
Of my unbelieving mind.

Fear is the pastime
Of my unillumined heart.
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 17, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
