102. Why are you sensitive?

You are sensitive to noise
    Because
You have not invented
    The Atom Bomb
    And
    The Hydrogen Bomb.

You are sensitive to noise
    Because
The outer world’s vast achievement is determined
    Not
To touch your feet.

You are sensitive to noise
    Because
God the Player divine,
God the Singer eternal,
God the Dancer immortal,
Has not claimed you in Heaven
As His partner on earth.
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 3, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
