Vision for the New Year

Poem by Swami Swaroopananda

Published in the Chinmaya Mission online magazine “Chinmayam”

New beginnings are not for us to look back with regrets

But rather to look forward with joyful anticipation

To do what we have never done before

To be daring and confident

To be more loving, more forgiving and more sharing;

To be compassionate like never before

Let us Make it happen!

No more shall we Justify our weaknesses and

be weak about our perfections

No more shall we Glorify our inadequacies and

inadequately express our glories

Let us graciously be humble and

humbly be gracious.

We are Great if we Believe we are;

We are divine when we know we are.

Let us Make it happen!

The World needs us and we need the World.

We are one big family;

The big picture alone must we see

No more you and me

Let there be only us.

Let us Beautify the world with Love.

Let us Make it happen!

Love is Beautiful, Love is Happiness,

Love is Wonderful, Love is God.

Love Alone is.

Love is Contagious, spread it around

Love is Magnificent, flaunt it around,

Love is Graceful, share it around

Love is enchanting, Chant it aloud

We have love. Discover it.

We are loved. Believe it!

We are love. Know it!

Let us make LOVE happen!
