Do not allow your heartTo be afraid
Of earth’s excruciating pangs.
Do not allow your mind
To be afraid
Of Heaven’s stark indifference.
Go slowly and steadily.
Your aspiration-dedication-train
Will unmistakably reach
The goal of the Beyond.
Sri Chinmoy, Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 13, Agni Press, 1983
