Poems on Birthdays

Poems on Birthdays

By: Sri Chinmoy

God will bless us most powerfully    
When we keep our birthdays  
Soulful and not powerful.

~

Unlike our birthdays-  
Once a year-  
God's Birthday is at every moment.

~

Birthdays inspire us    
To dive deep within  
Soulfully and unconditionally  
To collect our fabulous inner fortune.

~

Because you are consciously spiritual,  
On each of your birthdays  
Your soul comes to you to energise you,
Inspire you and give you additional strength
To go forward in your aspiration-life.

~

TWO BIRTHDAYS    

I count my age  
From two different years.  
To celebrate my human life,  
I count my age  
Right from 1931.  
To celebrate my life divine,
I count my age  
Only from 1944.

A SEEKER'S THREE BIRTHDAYS  

Each seeker can count his age  
From three different dates:  
The day he saw the light of day,
The day he sat at his Master's feet,
The day he became the Heart  
Of the Pilot Supreme.
