17.

```

My Lord Supreme,

I am at the mercy

of life-force and death-force.

When I am in Heaven, after some time the life-force brings me down to earth to enjoy the power of sound.

And when I am on earth, after some time the death-force pulls me up to Heaven to enjoy the beauty of silence.

Can You not find a third place for me where I can live permanently and independently and where I can be eternally beyond the hunger-satisfaction of both life-force and death-force?

— Sunil Davidson
