14. Translation

The heart cries and weeps
In the suffering of the vital,
In the groves of the mind.
Alas, the unconscious vital smiles and laughs;
It weeps not in shame
When the heart of the happy soul
Sheds tears for the sufferer.
I know, only in the heart of the happy soul
Will reside constantly the Life of the Infinite.
Sri Chinmoy, Patience-Groves, Agni Press, NY, 1978
