Short Poems about deception by Sri Chinmoy
Always it is a great encouragement
To feel and realise
That the ultimate Truth
Can never, never tolerate
Human deception-night.
Sri Chinmoy (1)
You feel you are always pleasing God
No matter what you do or say,
But this is all deception –
Not God-deception but self-deception.
Sri Chinmoy (2)
The difference between
Self-deception and self-perfection
Is this:
Self-deception says,
“I am already another God.”
Self-perfection says,
“Someday, without fail,
I shall grow into another God.”
Sri Chinmoy (3)
Self-deception must give way
To self-examination.
Self-examination must merge
In self-perfection
And stay forever.
Sri Chinmoy (4)
