75. You want to be free
You want to be freeFrom the drag of the flesh.
You want to be free
From the pull of desire.
You want to be free
From the push of frustration.
You want to be free
From the confines of your finite self.
You want to be free
From the prison-house of your own creation.
Then submit your fear to God’s tears.
This is the only way
To regain and safeguard your proudest pride.
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 2, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
