600. What to do
Earth tells meWhat to do.
Heaven tells me
What to become,
How to become
And why to become.
What to do?
I must cultivate patience
Infinitely more than I have.
What to become?
God’s Compassion-Choice.
How to become?
By virtue of surrender-light.
Why to become?
Because that is the only thing
That can satisfy
My inner life of aspiration-cry
And
My outer life of dedication-smile.
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 6, Agni Press, 1979
