8. His feet have no rest

I saw the feet of a thief.
I felt sorry for them
    Because
They have no rest.
Even during the night
Ignorance compels them to run.

I saw the feet of a saint.
I felt sorry for them
    Because
They have no rest.
Even when he is in his own room
His followers cannot live
Without touching and polluting his feet.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 9, Vishma Press, New York, 1974
