231. O my failure-fountain
O my failure-fountain,Although I do not love you,
I do not hate you either.
O my victory-fountain,
Although you have granted me
A vast range of victory-mountains,
I can’t love you unreservedly,
For my satisfaction-sun
Is still a far cry.
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 3, Agni Press, 1979
