Short Poems - Life

by: Sri Chinmoy

Do not look at
The sombre side of life,
But at its bright side
 At every moment.

Life is quite often
An uncontrollable
Stream of events.

Live your life
Second by second
If you want to be successful.

Is there any life
That is
Disappointment free?

The only keys
To a happy life:
Forgiveness and selflessness.

The outer life has no meaning
If it is not supported
By the inner world.

Life will not
Remain forever
An unfulfilled dream.

I must keep my faith alive
All the time,
Even when the whole world
Tortures me.
