Alas, why did I fall
In love with ignorance-night?I should have known long before
What it was really like.Now God is unmistakably
Charmed by me.Alas, will I be able to give Him
All my attentionAnd
Pay Him His absolute due?I hope it is not too late —
Alas, alas! ```From:Sri Chinmoy,The Golden Boat, part 20, Agni Press, 1974
