59. I believe it

When the world says
That I am a fool,
I believe it.

When the world says
That I am a rogue,
I believe it.

When the world says
That I am a helpless,
Hopeless and useless creature,
I believe it.

But God, when You tell me something,
Why do I find it so hard to believe it?

“Son, your love
Of ignorance-night
Far surpasses your love
Of Knowledge-Light.

“Empty your experience
Inside My Heart unreservedly.
I shall flood your being
With Light and Delight
Devotedly, soulfully and perpetually.”
Sri Chinmoy, The Wings of Light, part 2, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
