9. Where is bondage?
Kothai bandhan kothai bandhanKothai kothai timir shasan
Akasher mato amije swadhin
Batasher mato akar bihin
Paramer sathe paramer giti
Bhengeche amar agyan bhiti
Where is bondage?
Where is bondage?
Where, where is the reign of darkness?
Like the sun, I am eternally free;
Like the air, I am eternally formless.
Singing the Song Absolute
With the Absolute Pilot,
I have smashed the fear
Of my ignorance-night.
Sri Chinmoy, I Know Not Why, Agni Press, New York, 1980
