“Lord, be sincere.When I criticise You,
Do You get angry with me or
Do You punish me inwardly?”
“My son, when you criticise Me,
Neither do I get angry with you
Nor do I punish you.
I simply try
To lift your standard of human understanding
To My highest standard of divine dispensation.
There I show you My Love, Joy and Pride,
As here I show you My Patience,
Concern and Compassion.”
Sri Chinmoy, My Lord's Secrets revealed, Herder and Herder, 1971
