2585. The dissatisfaction-tiger
Here on earth I feelEverything is wrong,
Everything is imperfect,
Everything is undivine
If it is not totally to my liking.
Such being the case,
How do I dare
To think that Heaven
Will be to my liking?
The dissatisfaction-tiger in me, alas,
Is infinitely more powerful
Than the perfection-power
That poor Heaven embodies.
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 26, Agni Press, 1982
