I fasted to realise God;
ThereforeGod laughed at my earth-life
Of stupidity.I cried to realise God;
ThereforeGod smiled at my Heaven-life
Of necessity.I prayed to realise God;
ThereforeGod appreciated my earth-life
Of sincerity.I meditated to realise God;
ThereforeGod embraced my Heaven-life
Of reality. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Meditation: man's choice and God's Voice, part 2, Agni Press, 1974
