I sought and he caught

I sought God's guidance.
He caught my fear.

I sought God's Wisdom-light.
He caught my Ignorance-night.

I sought God's all-illumining Truth.
He caught my all-spreading Falsehood.

I sought God to own Him.
He caught me to give Himself.

I sought God because without Him I can do nothing.
He caught me because without me He wants to do nothing.

I sought God, I am now fulfilled.

God caught me.
He is now revealed.
Sri Chinmoy, Songs of the Soul, Herder and Herder, 1971
