853. Why are you so late?

```

Is that you, daughter?

Why are you so late?

“Father, I thought I could do

Without You.

I thought You could do

Without me.

Therefore

I found no necessity to come

Earlier.”

Is that You, Father?

Why are You so late?

“Daughter, I am late

Because

You have made Me late.

Until now,

You thought your

Desire-life was all.

That is why.”

```
