188. The battle of life
The body is scared to deathWhen it enters into the battlefield.
The vital often enjoys
The battle.
The mind is often withdrawn
From the actual fight.
The human heart dies
Before the fight begins.
The divine heart surrenders
To the Will of the Pilot Supreme.
The soul-bird flies away
From the battlefield
At God's choice Hour.
Sri Chinmoy, Europe-Blossoms, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
