"My Lord, You know that I am a victim to constant doubt.Please tell me if You ever have any occasion to doubt Yourself."
"My sweetest child, only once did I have the occasion to doubt Myself in the course of My endless Life."
"My Lord, only once!
When?"
"My child, it was the time when I created My creation and saw it becoming totally attached to Me.
I am the Creator, eternal, free and detached.
How could My own creation be attached, totally attached and bound?
Believe Me, My child, I could not account for it.
I had to doubt My own capacity."
"My Lord, forgive me.
I can't agree with You.
You have created me.
I am Your creation.
How can I live without being attached to You?"
"My child, I don't want you to be attached to Me, but I want you to be devoted to Me."
"My Lord, what is the difference?"
"My child, the difference is this.
Attachment is frustration, and frustration is destruction.
Devotion is wisdom-light, and wisdom-light is realisation-height."
Sri Chinmoy, My Lord's Secrets revealed, Herder and Herder, 1971
