6308. Eternity's race
The day you madeA sincere commitment to God
You started running along Eternity’s Road
With bullet-speed.
Now you are going
At bullock-cart speed.
True, the race may be
Longer than the longest,
But that does not mean
Your inner speed has to become
Slower than the slowest.
Sri Chinmoy, Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 64, Agni Press, 1983
