22. My expectations
I do not expect any criticism    From you who love me.
I do not expect any scolding
    From you who love me.
I expect only appreciation
    From you who really love me.
I expect only admiration
    From you who really love me.
You know that if you do
    What I expect from you,
I will give you
    My heart of love,
    My heart of sacrifice
    And my soul of constant vigilance,
    Eternal vigilance.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 18, Agni Press, 1974
