Our Earthly Wants And Our Heavenly Needs

Our earthly wants never shrink, never.
They enormously swell
And endlessly multiply.

Our heavenly needs shrink
And shrink
And shrink.
They become smaller than a tiny ant,
Vaster than the vastest ocean-
To fulfil God’s Will.

Excerpt from ‘The Wings of Light Part 1‘ by  Sri Chinmoy
