308. THE ONLY JOY IN THE WORLD

The only joy
In the outer world
  Is to begin.

  The only joy
In the inner world
  Is to continue.

  The only joy
In God’s world
  Is never to stop,
  But to unconditionally love God
  And serve His creation.
Sri Chinmoy, Transcendence-Perfection, Agni Press, New York, 1975
