864. A real disgrace

My soulful sincerity speaks:
I know nothing
Save and except
The history of ignorance.

I do nothing
Save and except
Wallow in the endless pleasures
Of ignorance-night.

I am nothing
Save and except
A real disgrace
To the aspiring world,
To my soul,
To my inner Pilot.
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 18, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
