15. The hour
The hour cameWhen God blessed me
And sent me down to earth.
The hour has come
When I have to tell the world
What the world is,
And what the world will be.
What is the world?
A self-giving seed.
What will the world be?
A God-fulfilling tree.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 17, Agni Press, 1974
