26. Translation
I ask You for things,Therefore, I am insignificant and destitute.
If not, I could also be Rudra, the Guru of the world.
My heart never wants to be as great as You are,
O Lord, if I equal You, then in me
The nectar of devotion will reside no more.
Sri Chinmoy, Patience-Groves, Agni Press, NY, 1978
