724. O Buddha!

```

O Buddha!

O Buddha!

Tell me,

Why

Were you so cruel

To Yashodhara, your beautiful wife?

What made you

Escape

From her sleeping net?

“I wanted

To tell the world

That I was totally

Unfulfilled

In my human life.

I escaped from my wife’s

Love-Prison

Because

Her larger self, the world,

Needed

My immediate service.”

```
