Chapal Prane Shanti Jachi
Chapal prane shanti jachiLabhi shudhu byarthata
Khina hriday sathi amar
Kon sudure purnata
Simar majhe asim tomar
Na jadi pai dekha
Charam gyaner dibya hashi
Habena mor shekha
I long for peace and silence
In my restless vital and my mind.
Alas, I meet with frustration and nothing else.
I have only a weak heart as my companion.
My heart and I never hope to see
The fulfilment-dawn.
O Infinite, inside the heart of the finite,
If I do not see You
I shall never learn the smile
Of highest wisdom-light.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 4, Agni Press, 1977
