49. Four men
We blameThe living man
    Because
He is impure.
We forgive
The dying man
    Because
He tried to remain pure.
We admire
The dead man
    Because
His is the life that will not worry.
We need
The immortal man
    Because
His is the life
That can and will fulfil us.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 18, Agni Press, 1974
