313. SOONER THAN AT ONCE
Sooner than at once,    I shall see the face of Truth.
Sooner than at once,
    I shall grow into God-ruth.
Sooner than at once,
    I shall bring good news to earth.
Sooner than at once
    Will dawn a new Divinity’s birth.
Sri Chinmoy, A Soulful Cry Versus a Fruitful Smile, Agni Press, 1977
