702. SWEETNESS AND DIGNITY
Sweetness tells meI can love the world.
Dignity tells me
I can rule the world.
With sweetness we conquer the world.
With dignity we frighten the world.
Dignity surrenders to humility’s sweetness
And finds there its satisfaction-abode.
Sri Chinmoy, Transcendence-Perfection, Agni Press, New York, 1975
