Poems on Darkness

 

Days of darkness-night
Are short-lived.
I knew it.
My soul-height taught me
This truth sublime.
Days of darkness-night
Are short-lived.
I knew it.
My heart-depth taught me
This wisdom sublime.
Days of darkness-night
Are short-lived.
I knew it.
My smile-breadth taught me
This God-lesson unparalleled.

- Sri Chinmoy

Darkness wants
To devour light.
Light wants
To transform darkness.
God says to darkness:
“Darkness, stop!”
God says to light:
“Light start!
Lo, you have won the goal.”

- Sri Chinmoy

~

In Immortality’s Light,
Darkness dies
Infinity’s Smiles,
Eternity cries.

- Sri Chinmoy

~

Struggle!
Struggle vehemently against darkness!
Your soul, the blue bird inside your heart,
Desperately wants from you
The transformation of your earth-life.

- Sri Chinmoy
