8. The problem-world
Manase abar samasya jameChinta bihag bhrame charidike bhrame
Basana kanna nahi thame kabhu
Maran nachan bhitare bahire prabhu
The problem-world once again
    Accumulates in my mind.
Thought-bird flew all over.
    Desire-cries never cease.
The dance of death within
And without I see,
O my Lord Supreme.
Sri Chinmoy, I Know Not Why, Agni Press, New York, 1980
