Even a great champion,If he is not spiritual,
May greatly suffer
From a baseless future-fear.
He says to himself:
“Who knows,
Tomorrow I may not be able
To perform as well as today.
The day after tomorrow
Somebody will surpass me
And take away my glory.”
Sri Chinmoy, Twenty-Seven Thousand Aspiration-Plants, part 19, Agni Press, 1983
