A soulful heart
Has discovered a supreme truth:
To meditate on God
Is a privilege
And not a duty.
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 9, Agni Press, 1981
If You but knew, Father,
What I have done for You:
Planted and raised a climbing tree
For You to dance on its top, smiling free.
If You but knew, Father,
What I have done for You.
I have become the world's lowest slave
Your Breath to serve in man, the grave.
"If you but knew, child,
What I ever think of you.
You are My Life's revealing
Soul, You are My Vision's fulfilling Goal."
