35. Heart's punishment, mind's punishment
BothMy mind and my heart
    Punish me.
Yet I love my heart
And hate my mind.
    Why?
My heart’s punishment
    Is reformatory.
My mind’s punishment
    Is vengeful.
My heart punishes me
    Because
Of my own immediate necessity.
My mind punishes me
    Because
Of its own constant necessity.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 16, Agni Press, 1974
