37. O MY DESIRE, O MY ASPIRATION
O my scorching desire,Are you not my shameless disgrace?
   “Yes, I am.
      But God still loves me.”
O my burning aspiration,
Are you not my fulfilling promise to God,
   My eternal Father?
   “No, I am not.
      I am the mere Grace-servant
      And Reality-son of God.”
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, Part 2, Sri Chinmoy Lighthouse, New York, 1974
