41. Sri Lanka... O soulful ancient heart
Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka!
O soulful ancient heart, O powerful modern arm,
Serenity’s transcending fragrance,
Simplicity’s illumining charm.
Religions’ oneness-shelter-nest;
The world is your surprise-fulfilled guest.
Sri Chinmoy, My aspiration-heart’s country-life-salutations, Agni Press, 1994
