567. The brain appreciates

An idle brain
Appreciates
The long nose of the devil.

An ignorant brain
Appreciates
The face of bondage.

A man-liking brain
Appreciates
The discoveries of man.

A God-loving brain
Appreciates
The omnipresence of God.
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 12, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
