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, Agni Press, New York, 1974
