Amije Amar Srashta
Ami je amar srashtaAmi je amar drashta
Amar karma amare karibe khoy
Amar karma ghor agyanmoy
Bhul pathe chali taita sarbanash
Hase nirabadhi dure rahe ullas
I am my creator, I am my seer.
My work makes me,
My work destroys me,
My work is all ignorance
As I swerve from the path of truth;
Therefore, destruction befriends me,
Real delight always remains away from me.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 3, Agni Press, 1977
