Poems about Avatars

The Masters are fond of him

He has a child’s heart.
Therefore
Ramakrishna is fond of him.

He is always dancing and roaming.
Therefore
Chaitanya is fond of him.

He is always humble and meek.
Therefore
Christ is fond of him.

He is always kind and benevolent.
Therefore
Buddha is fond of him.

He is always loving and playing.
Therefore
Krishna is fond of him.

He is always crying and smiling.
Therefore
God is fond of him.

(Sri Chinmoy,  Brother Jesus)

Alas, it is too late

Why did I not take
Fighting lessons from Sri Rama?
Alas, it is too late.

Why did I not take
Playing lessons from Sri Krishna?
Alas, it is too late.

Why did I not take
Suffering lessons from the Buddha?
Alas, it is too late.

Why did I not take
Forgiving lessons from the Christ?
Alas, it is too late.

Why did I not take
Dancing lessons from Sri Chaitanya?
Alas, it is too late.

Why did I not take
Long-distance walking lessons from Sri Shankara?
Alas, it is too late.

Why did I not take
Crying lessons from Sri Ramakrishna?
Alas, it is too late.

Why did I not take
Struggling lessons from Swamiji?
Alas, it is too late.

Why did I not take
Surrendering lessons from Sri Chinmoy?
Alas, it is too late.

(Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 6, Agni Press, 1973)

He becomes a perfect God

When
He smiles,
He is a perfect Buddha.

When
He cries,
He is a perfect Ramakrishna.

When
He dances,
He is a perfect Krishna.

When
He prays,
He is a perfect Christ.

When
He meditates,
He no longer remains an Avatar;
He becomes another God,
A perfect God.

(Sri Chinmoy, Europe-BlossomsAgni Press, 1974)

His heart

His heart of love
Became Krishna’s Kadamba-tree.

His heart of wisdom
Became Buddha’s Bodhi-tree.

His heart of cries
Became Ramakrishna’s Panchavati-trees.

His heart of service
Became Chinmoy’s Rupantar-tree.

(Sri Chinmoy, Europe-Blossoms, Agni Press, 1974)

We are all leaves, flowers
And fruits
On the different religion-branches
Of the birthless and deathless
Life-tree.
