Rabindaranath Tagores Poems III by Viswadeep Das - HTML preview

88. Credo

The touch of joy I sense at the core of light,

I know it for certain that my soul is not distinct from it.

From the same original luminous source

With the holy current of consciousness

I have been baptised,

Victory has anointed my forehead,

Intimating my heritage of immortality;

I have the right to be identified

With the supreme Self

In a marvelous world,

I have access to the way of Joy.

[ arogya, "Convalescence", No. 32, 1940]
