34. Lord, open your Eyes
"Lord, You always ask meTo keep my eyes open.
How is it that You never
Keep Your Eyes open?
Just open Your Eyes and see
How I am suffering.
I really want to die.
Your world does not want me,
Your world does not need me.
It only knows how to torture me
Mercilessly and constantly."
My child, world-despair has possessed you,
But I always claim you
As my Eternity's own.
Sri Chinmoy, The Silence-Song, Agni Press, 1975
