12.
My Lord,People say that I am
Extremely beautiful.
Do You agree with them?
No, never!
My Lord,
Why are You so cruel to me?
Because you do not
Give any credit
To the Source.
Who is the Source
And what has the Source
Done for me?
I am the Source
And I tell you once and for all,
The beauty that you have
Is a loan from Me.
At any moment
I can compel you
To return it.
My child,
I can never understand
How a beggar-borrower
Can ever be happy and proud.
Sri Chinmoy, My child, you and I are in the same boat, Agni Press, 1991
