23. Who knows, O, who knows?
Jiban nadiKon pathe jai ke jane
Kahar pane kahar tane
Ke jane go ke jane
Kon sagarer buke
Thakte chahe luke
Ke jane go ke jane
Who knows, O, who knows
Which way the life-river flows,
Being pulled by who and towards whom?
Who knows, O, who knows
In the heart-depth of which ocean
My heart-river wants to lose
Its existence-life?
Who knows, O, who knows?
Sri Chinmoy, I Know Not Why, Agni Press, New York, 1980
