5189. Alas, where am I now?
At the time of my soul-journey’s startI thought I did not need
The smiling Eye of Heaven
Or the serving hand of earth.
Alas, where am I now?
I am crying at the feet
Of an unavoidable and inevitable
Failure-end.
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 52, Agni Press, 1983
