13. As the sea

Sindhu jeman ar kichu noi
Bindu bindu jal
Asim tumi simai gara
Shudhu kathar chhal

As the sea is nothing but
An accumulation of countless drops,
Even so, O Infinite,
You are the multiplication
Of the tiny finite realities
Which are nothing short of
Man’s thought-trickeries.

Sri Chinmoy, I Know Not Why, Agni Press, New York, 1980
