When I was born
When I was bornIn the heart of my sun
I was my Duty’s role.
When I was born
In the heart of my moon
I was my Beauty’s Soul.
When I was born
In the heart of my surrender-will
I was my Perfection-Goal.
Sri Chinmoy, The Inner Promise - Paths to Self-Perfection, Simon and Schuster, 1974
