There was a time when Eternity was mine,
Alas, now I have only the ephemeral.There was a time when Infinity was mine.
Alas, now I am forced to be satisfied with the finite.I misused Eternity;
Therefore Eternity has left me.I misused Infinity;
Therefore Infinity has left me.Now I am misusing the finite;
Therefore the finite moment also will leave me soon. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,AUM — Vol.II-4, No.11, 27 November 1977, Vishma Press, 1977
