Translation
My vital wants to catch everything.Alas, everything disappears before
It can catch anything
In God’s entire creation.
O mind, why do you hanker
After the fleeting and fruitless realities?
Long only for the realities
That eternally abide, eternally satisfy
Man’s eternal thirst.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 2, Agni Press, 1976
