256. THE COSMIC GODS
I find it so difficult    To reconcile with the cosmic gods.
Indifferent they always have been.
Now they have become something more:
    They find fault with humanity’s
    Doleful and soulful cry.
O cosmic gods, remain where you are
    In some fairylands high.
Let the world go its way.
    Let the world evolve in God’s perennial Way.
Sri Chinmoy, A Soulful Cry Versus a Fruitful Smile, Agni Press, 1977
