33. Compassion lifts me up
My feet have slipped    And
I have not held out my arms;
    Yet
The Compassion of my Lord Supreme
Lifts me up.
My life of aspiration
Has been lost in the world
Of hallucination and temptation
    And
My heart is empty of cries and sorrow;
    Yet
The Compassion of my Lord Supreme
Lifts me up.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 10, Agni Press, 1974
