Chira Agyata Ogo Dui Shishu
Chira agyata ogo dui shishuUnnati abanati
Sabar jibane rayecha tomara
Heri tai labh khati
Narayan raje parane sabar
Ei katha barebar
Janaite chaha bujaite chaha
Keha nahi shunibar
Progress and regress are two infants.
These two infants abide inside every
Human being
And it is they who create in human beings
The sense of loss and gain.
The Lord Supreme, who is
Satisfaction Supreme as well,
Resides in every heart,
Yet nobody wants to believe in this
Eternally sacred and secret message.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 2, Agni Press, 1977
