Chetana Amar Bedana
Chetana amar bedana
Bedana amar eshana
Eshana amar oishi karuna
Ami mor bidhatar bandana
Chetana amar bidhatar jaya nishan
Agyanatar rupantarer kripan
Translation
My consciousness is all sorrow.
Sorrow is my aspiration-flame.
My aspiration is Your Heavenly Compassion.
I am my Lord’s eternal worship.
My consciousness shall be
My Lord’s Victory-Banner
And the sword for the transformation
Of my nature.
Sri Chinmoy, Supreme, Teach Me How To Cry, Agni Press, 1975
