Poems about Sorrow

Poems on Sorrow

by: Sri Chinmoy

• My Last Word
• Struggle’s Gloom
• Forgotten, Forgiven and Unseen

At the rim of sorrow    
He found his heartless mind.  
On the brink of despair
He found his soulless heart.
In the sea of destruction
He found his goalless soul.
Centuries dropped dead.
Now  
On the shore of Time  
He finds his searching mind
He finds his crying heart
He finds his illumining soul.

Writing on Sorrow

by: Sri Chinmoy

Depression is the most effective smile of a wrong force. Once we allow it to enter, depression tries to crush the strength and joy of our life-force.    

Illness often has very little to do with the Divine Will. It is rather the acceptance of imperfection’s invasion.  
The pain of the body is often bearable. Not so is the pain of the heart.
Sorrow is an arrow to pierce into strength. Joy is food to feed strength sumptuously.
Sorrow lords it over the world. But the very presence of Time makes it lose its sting.  
Time is the best physician for suffering. Then comes patience. And then comes tolerance.

Excerpt from Eternity’s Breath by Sri Chinmoy.
