3062. Each temptation
A pure self-giving heartAnd a sure God-loving life
Will never allow themselves
To be sprinkled with small temptations,
For each temptation
Attacks the self-giver and God-lover
With an unscrupulous ignorance-day
And a ferocious destruction-night.
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 31, Agni Press, 1982
