A Quote by Sri Chinmoy on death, defeat, inspiration, knowledge, ignorance, and look

I took a closer look.      
There is no such thing as ignorance.    
Ignorance is nothing    
But my limited knowledge.    
I took a closer look.    
There is no such thing as defeat.    
Defeat is nothing    
But the inspirer    
Of my increasing will.    
I took a closer look.    
There is no such thing as death.    
Death is nothing    
But my strengthening    
And    
Dreaming rest.
