Death, do you speak to God?

Death, do you speak to God?
"Yes, I do."
How often do you speak to God?
"I speak to God quite often
    And
Also quite a lot."

Death, what do you talk about?
"We talk about various things,
But mostly we talk about
Man's helplessness and man's cleverness.
God thinks all human beings are helpless
    And
I think all human beings are clever.
God has decided to make them all
Secure and powerful.
I have decided to make them all
Wise and self-giving."
Sri Chinmoy, The silence of death, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
