11. Rivers of sorrow
Your life is a river of sorrowBecause
Nobody loves you.
Your life is a hundred rivers of sorrow
Because
Nobody needs you.
Your life is a thousand rivers of sorrow
Because
Man-confidence,
Self-confidence,
God-confidence,
Are all strangers to you.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 9, Vishma Press, New York, 1974
