I have inherited

(Sri Chinmoy wrote this soulful tribute to the members of his family in 1973 as part of a 20-volume poetry series entitled The Dance of Life.)

```

My sister Lily's love and determination

I have inherited.

My sister Arpita's concern and service

I have inherited.

My brother Chitta's poetry and sacrifice

I have inherited.

My brother Hriday's philosophy and wisdom

I have inherited.

My brother Mantu's patience and detachment

I have inherited.

My sister Ahana's music and immensity

I have inherited.

My mother Yogamaya's psychic tears and surrender

I have inherited.

My father Shashi Kumar's inner confidence and outer triumph

I have inherited. ```
