He is a puritan friend of mine.
He wants me to liveMy life in his way.
Why should I?I am a seeker.
I want to live my lifeIn my own way.
Why should I not?To the puritan friend of mine, God says:
“Don’t be a beggar,You will fail.”
To me, God says:
“Don’t be a chooser,You will fail.
Follow My Way:My Way is the only filler
Of your empty life.My Way is the only fulfiller
Of your soul’s ancient promise.” ```From:Sri Chinmoy,The Dance of Life, part 9, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
