2180. SWEETNESS AND BITTERNESS
Sweetness and bitternessFight against each other within me
To be my teachers.
Sweetness is anxious to teach me
How to become a morning rose.
Bitterness is anxious to teach me
How to heave an evening sigh.
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 22, Agni Press, New York, 1981
