Shanta Saral Hate Pari
Shanta saral hate pari jakhan labhe gyanDure thake pira dayi bhranta apaman
Saman bhebe man apaman
Chalte habe jiban pathe
Thai pabo ma takhan ami
Taba bijoy rathe
When knowledge dawns I become sincere,
I become simple, I become pure.
I cast aside all failure, all defeats,
All the things that drag me down.
Success and failure, victory and defeat
I shall encounter while walking along Eternity’s road.
But if I take them as one, not two,
Then You will offer me Your Victory’s chariot.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 4, Agni Press, 1977
