5. The beauty of Eastern light
Why did he leave his church?    He left his church
    Not because it was unaspiring.
Why did he leave his priest?
    He left his priest
    Not because he was uninspiring.
He left his church,
He left his priest,
    Because he needs his life’s
    Total and immediate transformation.
And for that what he needs
    Is the beauty of Eastern light.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 20, Agni Press, 1974
