Mostly spent in making mistakes.
But his hallowed hunger for God-Love
Will eventually
Not only rectify and justify
But also glorify
All his unavoidable mistakes.

Do not look back.
Your forgotten, hungry wolf-life
Will immediately devour you.
The secret of divine education:
Be sleeplessly on the alert.
Your ego-life can easily
Keep growing without nourishment.

In joyful sweep I loose forth and draw back all.
A birthless deathless Spirit that moves and is still
Ever abides within to hear my call.

I who create on earth my joys and doles
To fulfil my matchless quest in all my play,
I veil my face of truth with golden hues
And see the serpent night and python day.

A Consciousness Bliss I feel in each breath;
I am the self amorous child of the Sun.
At will I break and build my symbol sheath
And freely enjoy the world’s unshadowed fun.

Excerpt from “My Flute” by Sri Chinmoy

But my victory
Has become a wall
Between my Lord and my heart.
