49. They are dead
You have deserted your honesty.    Lo, God’s Duty-Tree
    Which has been pleasing you
    Is dead.
You have completely deserted your humility.
    Lo, God’s Beauty-Flower
    Which has been enlightening you
    Is unmistakably dead.
You have deserted your purity.
    Lo, God’s Spontaneity-Fruit
    Which has been nourishing you
    Is helplessly dead.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 19, Agni Press, 1974
