296. I DON’T BELIEVE IT
I don’t believe it.    How can God speak ill of me?
    How can He?
Am I not His extended Self?
Am I not His imperfect Self?
Am I not entirely His,
    Only His?
No, my Lord cannot speak ill of me,
    For I am He,
    Swimming in the preparation-sea.
Sri Chinmoy, A Soulful Cry Versus a Fruitful Smile, Agni Press, 1977
