Poems on the theme of the pilgrim

[Sri Chinmoy reads out these poems which he has written over the years on the theme of the pilgrim.]

```

I am a peace-collecting pilgrim-soul.

To love the heart of the unknown, my only goal.

Newness-heart-life beckons my dreaming breath.

I see nowhere darkness and bondage-death.

```

```

Today

My hope-heart-pilgrim

Shall travel a long distance

To have a glimpse

Of God’s Compassion-Eye.

```

```

The life’s simplicity,

The mind’s sincerity

And the heart’s purity

Are fellow pilgrims upon the path

That leads to God’s Kingdom.

```

```

My Lord Supreme,

Do give me a pilgrim-heart

To offer my aspiration-flames

Far and wide,

Lovingly and self-givingly.

```

```

We are the pilgrims of the Lord Supreme

On the Path of Infinity.

At this time we have broken asunder

Obstruction’s door.

We have broken asunder

The night of tenebrous darkness, inconscience

And the eternal, indomitable fear of death.

The Boat of the supernal Light’s dawn

Is beckoning us,

And the World-Pilot

Of the hallowed bond of Love divine

Is beckoning us.

The Liberator’s Hands are drawing us

To the Ocean of the great Unknown.

Having conquered the life-breath

Of the Land of Immortality,

And carrying aloft the Banner

Of the Lord Supreme,

We shall return —

We, the drops and flames

Of transformation-light.

God sits by His Heart-Window

And watches and enjoys

The sincerity, beauty and purity

Of all pilgrim-seekers.

```

```

May my heart's tears

And my life's promises

Walk along

My soul's pilgrim-journey-road.

```

```

Humanity’s

Pilgrim-sunrise-days

Shall forever last.

```
