You cannot expect abiding joy,
You cannot expect any kind of joy,Unless you have unmistakably and soulfully
Accepted the fact that your spiritual lifeNot only has the joy that you need
But also is joy,Far, far beyond the need
Of your entire life here on earth. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, part 59, Agni Press, 1983
