780. O TEMPTATION-SERPENT
O temptation-serpent,Do you think you will be able to conquer me?
O temptation-serpent,
Do you think that I will surrender to you?
O temptation-serpent,
“Your transformation-day is nigh,”
Declares humanity’s perfection-smile
In the heart of temptation-destruction-volcano.
Sri Chinmoy, Transcendence-Perfection, Agni Press, New York, 1975
