Fear
Whom do I fear?The Lord, the One?
Not true.
I am
My Father’s son.
What do I fear?
My ignorance vast —
The sleepless spear,
The eyeless dust.
Why do I fear?
Because my eyes
See not the Smile
Of the golden skies.
Sri Chinmoy, The Inner Promise - Paths to Self-Perfection, Simon and Schuster, 1974
