127. It hurts me
It hurts me a little,Lord, when the world speaks ill of You.
But it hurts me a lot,
Lord, when I speak ill of You;
For You are so beautiful to look at,
You are so delicious to eat,
You are so precious to possess
That I really do not know what to do.
I am not only useless but helpless.
Sri Chinmoy, Transcendence-Perfection, Agni Press, 1975
