Sri Chinmoy

While standing there

Is at once vulnerable and invulnerable.

Vulnerable to receive

The aspiration of his devoted adherents.

Invulnerable by his purity

While weeding our souls.

Sri Chinmoy

Is the voyager who has come from God...

And by his eyes tells us about the God within us.

His sound is from the voice of the reed.

It seems to come from very far off...

The defined edge of his universe.

He gives form to invisible inspiration

Which through him finds manifestation.

His blessing His touch

The emanations from his body

Cast off colors of the astral infinite

And resound off the ground he carefully walks on.

He takes care to awaken the soul

Gently

Like thunder from the distance which promises rain

To the parched earth.

We who have waited Greet Guru

And ask if we may come in.
