477. Exorbitant pride
Exorbitant pride has taken awayYour mind’s equipoise.
Your heart is now full
Of turbulent noise.
Ask your heart’s mounting flames
Soulfully and devotedly
To bring you back your mind’s
Lost wealth.
I assure you, your silver request
Will meet with immediate approval.
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 5, Agni Press, 1979
