339. MY PROMISE
I shall give God my promise,    My promise dire,
    To smash the pride of ignorance-dream.
God has promised to me
    That He will give me another chance,
    For the illumination of the desire-world,
    And transformation, illumination
    And manifestation of the aspiration-world.
Sri Chinmoy, A Soulful Cry Versus a Fruitful Smile, Agni Press, 1977
