5.

I had a bitter quarrel with God.

Many a time He has come to make up, but my ire has not allowed me to be on good terms with Him.

To Him I have said, "God, you have made me the man in the moon, but I wish to be a man of the earth."

No answer have I heard from Him.

At last I now comprehend the meaning of His Silence.

When evil things torture me, I must in no time become the man in the moon. And when ignorance rises to dominate me, forthwith I must be a man of the earth.
