130. MY EARTH-LIFE, MY HEAVEN-LIFE
I fasted to realise God;      Therefore
God laughed at my earth-life of stupidity.
  I cried to realise God;
      Therefore
God smiled at my Heaven-life of necessity.
  I prayed to realise God;
      Therefore
God appreciated my earth-life of sincerity.
  I meditated to realise God;
      Therefore
God embraced my Heaven-life of reality.
