My Body Wants To Sleep, 1980 Jun 03

Filed under Poetry

   A Poetic Offering by Sri Chinmoy, Leader of the Peace Meditations at the United Nations.


My body wants to sleep.
My vital wants to run.
My mind wants to know.
My heart wants to grow.
My soul wants to glow.
My Lord Supreme wants to flow.

My body cries.
My vital sighs.
My mind fears.
My heart hesitates.
My soul wanders.
My Lord Supreme wonders.

My body likes to sleep.
My vital likes to conquer.
My mind likes to prosper.
My heart likes to surrender.
My soul likes to discover.
My Lord Supreme likes to remember.

My body will see.
My vital will feel.
My mind will believe.
My heart will realise.
My soul will smile.
My Lord Supreme will rest.
