I Sing, I Smile

I sing because You sing,
I smile because You smile.
Because You play on the flute
I have become Your flute.
You play in the depths of my heart.
You are mine, I am Yours:
This is my sole identification.
In one Form
You are my Mother and Father eternal,
And Consciousness moon, Consciousness sun,
All pervading.

Excerpt from “My Flute” by  Sri Chinmoy

I Shall Listen

I shall listen to Your command, I shall.
In Your sky I shall fly, I shall fly.
Eternally You are mine, my very own.
You are my heart’s wealth.
For You at night in tears I shall cry,
For You at dawn with light I shall smile.
For You, for You, Beloved, only for You.

- Sri Chinmoy

Excerpt from “My Flute” by Sri Chinmoy

I Remember

I remember …
My mother loved me, her world.
My father loved me, his dream.
My home loved me, its ’supreme’.

I remember …
I prayed with the blooming dawn,
I played with the glowing sun.
My life, the nectar fun.

I remember …
I sang with the twinkling stars,
I danced with the floating moon.
All lost, alas, too soon.

I remember, I remember, I remember.

Excerpt from “My Flute” by Sri Chinmoy

My Last Word

My last word You will hear.
With this hope
I still exist on earth.
Let me dance in Your Heart always,
In the nights of sorrow and in the days of joy.
I feel that the torture of happiness is more painful
Than the torture of sorrow,
For when I am in joy I forget You;
I hurt your heart.

Excerpt from “My Flute” by Sri Chinmoy

THE LISTENER IN YOU

The speaker in you tells you
That you and he can transform
The length and breadth of the world.
The listener in you tells you
That you and he can manifest
God-Light, God-Truth and
God-Perfection on earth.
I tell you,
The listener in you is sincere and genuine.
Give him a chance.
He will do everything to please you,
To fulfil you.
Just give him a chance.
