433. The same old thoughts
The same old thoughts:God does not love me,
God does not want me,
I am left all alone.
I was nothing,
I am nothing,
I shall be nothing.
These are the ideas that make my life miserable
And throw me into the very jaws of destruction-tiger.
O Forgiver of all my shortcomings,
Forgive me.
A new hope is being born in my heart.
I shall cry from today on
To grow into Perfection's beauty-delight.
Sri Chinmoy, Transcendence-Perfection, Agni Press, 1975
