5742. My heart shall be smitten
I refuse to becomeA victim to untold miseries
Simply because
I did not think of my Lord Supreme
Centuries ago,
Or even yesterday.
But my heart
Shall be smitten to pieces
If I do not think of my Lord Supreme
From today on,
Forever and forever.
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 58, Agni Press, 1983
