God-embrace2

```

I fasted to realise God;

Therefore

God laughed at my earth-life

Of stupidity.

I cried to realise God;

Therefore

God smiled at my Heaven-life

Of necessity.

I prayed to realise God;

Therefore

God appreciated my earth-life

Of sincerity.

I meditated to realise God;

Therefore

God embraced my Heaven-life

Of reality.

```

AUM 1165. Poems 1-100 were written on Pan Am flight 100 from New York to London on 21 June, in London and in Cambridge, England.↩
