Dyuloker Lobhe Puji Jadi Toma
Dyuloker lobhe puji jadi tomaNahi diyo kabhu dyulok sukh
Naraker bhaye daki jadi priya
Diyo shudhu more narak dukh
If I worship You
Hoping that You will grant me
The delight of Heaven,
Then never grant me the happiness and ecstasy
Of Heaven.
If I worship You with the hope that You will not torture me
With the unbearable torture of Hell,
Then do torture me with the unbearable torture
Of Hell.
Sri Chinmoy, Pole-star promise-light, part 1, Agni Press, 1977
