What you need
You do not need the trophyOf your life-victory.
You do not need the appreciation
Of your life-story.
You do not need the recognition
Of your earth-bravery.
What you constantly need
Is your soul-flower.
What you breathlessly need
Is your heart-fragrance.
Sri Chinmoy, A hundred years from now, Agni Press, New York, 1974
