To Be A Dust Particle
I want to be like a dust particle
which moves with the wind.
It goes everywhere.
Can go, sit on the head of a king,
or can go and fall at the feet of someone.
And it can go and sit on a little flower,
and it can go and sit everywhere.
But I want to be a particle of dust.
That is fragrant,
that is nourishing,
that is enlightening.
By Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi,
aged seven and as narrated by herΒ in Dhulia, India, 14th January 1983
