817. Out of sheer generosity

```

Death, it is out of sheer generosity

And not out of necessity

That I give you my body.

Heaven, it is out of sheer generosity

And not out of necessity

That I give you my soul.

Earth, it is out of sheer God-necessity,

And my necessity too,

And not out of generosity

That I give you my God-achievements. ```
