1646
O my mind,You are asking me why
I do not want to utilise you
The way I utilise my heart.
Every day my heart,
On its own,
Goes to the soul-laundry
To be laundered,
But you do not want to do that.
How do you then expect me
To use you every day
When you do not at all
Keep yourself clean?
Sri Chinmoy, Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 17, Agni Press, 1983
