339. MY PROMISE
I shall give God my promise,   My promise dire,
   To smash the pride of ignorance-dream.
God has promised to me
   That He will give me another chance,
   For the illumination of the desire-world,
       And transformation, illumination
       And manifestation of the aspiration-world.
Sri Chinmoy, A Soulful Cry Versus a Fruitful Smile, Agni Press, New York, 1977
