18.

The silence of the inner world
Tells the God-realised Soul:
"Wake up!
Tarry not!
Hurry up!
Run up and down
While serving God
Inside the heart of humanity."

The sound of the outer world
Tells the God-realised Soul:
"Shut up!
Shut up!
Stay not here!
Pack up!
Go elsewhere!
Not here, not here!"
Sri Chinmoy, My Master, Agni Press, 2001
