95. Ke oi dake aire bacha ai
Ke oi dake aire bacha aiMayer kantha jena shona jai
Kahar seba karte ese
Achi rato kahar sebai
Dhaner lobhe maner lobhe
Mago arna jena din jai
Who calls to me,
“My child, come, come”?
I came into the world
To serve the Mother.
Alas, whom do I serve now?
I serve ignorance-night,
I serve material-wealth,
I serve human-pride.
Mother, may I not any more waste
My precious aspiration-life.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 2, Agni Press, New York, 1976
