The reward of losing. I lost my anger. Joy, everlasting joy, came into my immediate possession. I lost my desire. The entire world has devotedly become mine. I lost my ignorance. Lo, my sweet Lord is proud of me.
Sri Chinmoy, Meditations: food for the soul, Aum Centre, New York, 1970
O what is faith and what is doubt?
Faith is life sun beyond the grave.
Doubt is the battle lost, within, without.
A doubter cries: “Me, none can save.”
