I challenged the invisible
I drove the chariot of the sunAthwart the arch of blue-gold Heaven,
Dissolving the negative intruders,
Fear and doubt,
Embracing the positive prompters,
Faith and Love.
Thousands of years ago
I challenged the invisible.
At long last, today
My challenge has been accepted.
Enlightenment fondly braves
The untiring searcher.
Sri Chinmoy, The Inner Promise - Paths to Self-Perfection, Simon and Schuster, 1974
