40. My bonds are broken
My earth-bonds are snapped;    Therefore
I can go to Heaven
And rest and dream.
My Heaven-bonds are severed.
This realisation has dawned on me
In my own way;
    Therefore
I can go to earth
To please my Lord Supreme —
To please Him
In His own Way,
Unlike the Heaven-hungry souls.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 12, Agni Press, 1974
