Translation
Your heart-door has been kept shutFor aeons;
Therefore, you see not
Your Beloved Supreme
At your heart’s door.
O fool, when will you stop
Playing the role of
Self-styled madness?
When will you try to
Please the Absolute Supreme
In His own Way?
He who transforms all sufferings
Into ecstasy’s flood
Is all alone
At your door.
He wants to be taught
By you alone.
Neglect Him not.
He is your soul-world’s
Eternity-rest.
Behold!
There He is
At your heart’s closed door.
Sri Chinmoy, Illumination-Song and Liberation-Dance, part 1, Agni Press, 1976
