Arise, awake, O friend of my dream.
Arise, awake, O breath of my life.
Arise, awake, O light of my eyes.
O seer poet in me,
Do manifest yourself in me and through me.
Arise, awake, O vast heart within me.
Arise, awake, O consciousness of mine,
Which is always transcending the universe
And its own life of the Beyond.
Arise, awake, O form of my meditation transcendental.
Arise, awake, O bound divinity in humanity.
Arise, awake, O my heart’s Liberator, Shiva,
And free mankind from its ignorance sleep.
poems and aphorisms by Sri Chinmoy taken from the collection ‘My Flute‘.
The stars are singing the song
Of infinite Light.
The moon is singing the song
Of eternal Delight.
What remains unsung is my song
Of immortal Height.
From Ten Thousand Flower-Flames, Part 32
by Sri Chinmoy
Leave me alone, leave me alone.
I need my rest in my soaring nest.
My bleeding heart for God’s bending Ears.
His Heart my host, His Soul my guest.
Leave me alone, my play is done.
O world, no more shall I stab your pride.
Your lessons wild are harrows of death
I shall unlearn-in God to hide.
Leave me alone, leave me alone.
I have now seen my goal’s highest Soul.
In the glow and flow of Silence-Sea
My life of cries has found its role.
By Sri Chinmoy
