353. MY UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER
My unconditional surrenderIs younger than yesterday
Therefore I have to be
Extremely careful, soulful,
For this tiny sapling
Can be totally uprooted
By the gouge, poison,
Jealousy-dragon,
Meanness-snake,
Impurity-lake.
Sri Chinmoy, A Soulful Cry Versus a Fruitful Smile, Agni Press, New York, 1977
