343. GRANT ME HOPE
My Lord Supreme, grant me hope,Unconquerable hope
So that I do not
In the quagmire grope.
Lord Supreme, grant me faith,
Unconquerable aspiration-flame,
So that I can play with God
In His self-transcendence game.
Sri Chinmoy, A Soulful Cry Versus a Fruitful Smile, Agni Press, New York, 1977
