Hriday Dware Rayecha Daraye
Hriday dware rayecha darayeNahi khulo kena dwar
Akuti bhakati nahi mago mor
O charane pujibar
Byatha diye more jani tumi dibe
Charan atmagyan
Pabo ami mago jatil maner
Samasya samadhan
You remain standing at my door,
Yet You do not open my heart’s door.
Devotion I don’t want from You.
Aspiration I don’t want from You.
I don’t want to worship You.
I feel that You will torture me
And then give me my highest realisation.
I think this is the way You have decided
That You will solve all my mental problems.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 4, Agni Press, 1977
