Swan: Realisation
Swan, my swan,How did you attain your
God-realisation?
How did you perform
Such a difficult task?
"I realised God
By offering my life's
Ignorance-husk and ignorance-bark
To the Supreme
The moment
My hour dawned
In my weeping life.
What I have now is God.
What I have now is God's
All-fulfilling Illumination-Life."
Sri Chinmoy, Animal Kingdom, Agni Press, 1973
