Nitya Nutan Maner Praner

Nitya nutan maner praner
Chechamechi
Nahi jani keman kare
Benche achi

Translation

The mind and the vital
Are constantly quarrelling, fighting,
Wrangling and screaming.
I do not know how I am still alive
In between the two.

Sri Chinmoy, Eso eso prabhu, part 1, Agni Press, New York, 1998
