He runs the fastest
He runs the fastest who does not run at all,And who, like Lord Shiva, is in deep meditation,
Trance-bound, still, like day and night.
And those who run toward the oasis
In the deserts of desire,
How can they run in search of the Light Supreme?
Sri Chinmoy, The Inner Promise - Paths to Self-Perfection, Simon and Schuster, 1974
