416. To make yourself happy1
To make yourself happy,Be what you have:
Aspiration-flame.
To make God happy,
Be what you are:
Dedication-lamp.
To make both yourself and God happy,
Become what you have to become:
Illumination-sun.
FF 416-435. These twenty poems were written on 31 October 1979 on the trip from Madras to Bombay.↩
