The Dust Particle

This book is based on the poem 'The Dust Particle', written by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, when she was just seven years old.

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.
