I am a genius
I am a dependent genius.I depend on the world’s appreciation.
I am happy.
I am a dependable genius.
The world depends on me.
I am really miserable.
I have no holidays.
I am an independent genius.
I am really happy
Because
I don’t depend on the world’s appreciation
And
The world does not depend on my genius.
The world is free to bark.
I am free to bray.
Sri Chinmoy, The hunger of darkness and the feast of light, part 1, Agni Press, 1974
