17. Father and sons

```

Prayer says to God:

“Father, I have come to You.

What will You give me?”

“Son, I shall give you joy.

Look, I am massaging your feet.”

Meditation says to God:

“Father, You have come to me.

What can I offer You?

What will give You joy?”

“Son, you can massage My Head.”
