818. BETWEEN PUNISHMENT AND FORGIVENESS
Between punishment and forgivenessWhat do I want?
I want both, if necessity demands.
If by punishing me, O Lord,
You can expedite my life’s journey
Towards Your Golden Shore,
Then punish me by all means.
I want not Your Compassion-Forgiveness-Light.
Sri Chinmoy, Transcendence-Perfection, Agni Press, New York, 1975
