When hostile forces attack you,
Have nothing to do with them.
Create a world of indifference
Within and around you.
Their own pride will compel them
To leave you.
Sri Chinmoy, Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 12, Agni Press, 1983
Into the world of beauty's flame,
Into the world of offering's game,
Into the world of lustre flood,
I came, I came, my existence came.
