14.
My Lord,Five days a week we work;
Two days we get rest.
Similarly, in the spiritual life,
Can we not pray and meditate
Five days a week
And two days enjoy rest?
"My child,
I have no idea
Whether you get a salary
On the days you do not work.
But in My case I cannot afford
To give you your salary
The days you do not work for Me."
My Lord,
What is Your salary, after all?
"My child,
My salary is
My Affection, My Love,
My Gratitude and My Pride."
Sri Chinmoy, My Lord's Lotus-Feet versus my devotion-heart, part 3, Agni Press, 1998
