20. ONLY ONE FOOD

His is the body
That cries for only one food:
  Night, brooding night.

His is the vital
That cries for only one food:
  Might, controlling might.

His is the mind
That cries for only one food:
  Light, glowing light.

His is the heart
That cries for only one food:
  Delight, flowing delight.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, Part 19, Vishma Press, New York, 1974
