894. A serious commitment
Earth, my sister earth,I cannot die with you
Because
I have made a serious commitment
To Heaven.
I have told Heaven
That I shall establish
Heaven on earth.
Heaven, my brother Heaven,
I cannot fly with you
Because
I have made a serious commitment
To earth.
I have told earth
That I shall transform
Her untold sufferings
Before I do anything else.
Sri Chinmoy, The Wings of Light, part 18, Agni Press, 1974
