Agyanatar Bojha Gurutor (1)
Agyanatar bojha gurutorSe gopan katha hai
Jeno janina rahiyachi ami
Nithur ama nishai
Alas, I know perfectly well
That the weight of ignorance-night is extremely heavy
And hard is it to pierce its veil.
Yet there is something in me
That enjoys the pleasure
Of being constantly and ceaselessly tortured
By ignorance-night.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 3, Agni Press, 1977
