597. The guests

A gold possessor
Is a welcome guest.

A silver possessor
Is an acceptable guest.

A man with no gold
And no silver
Is an unwanted guest.

But
When I went to visit God,
He asked me,
“Son, do you have gold with you?”
Sorry.
No, Father.

“I am so happy, son, that you do
Not have gold.
Son, do you have silver with you?”
Sorry.
No, Father.

“Son, I am so happy that you do
Not have silver.
Son, what actually have you brought for Me?”
Father, unfortunately, nothing.

“Son, you do have something for Me.
You have brought Me
Your bold nothingness-pride.
Son, give Me your pride
And I give you My All.”
