117. TEN YEARS OF INTENSE ASPIRATION

Ten years of intense aspiration
Made him see the present God
Who wants from him
His own Manifestation on earth.
He said to God:
  “Lord, I am really surprised
To see that You too need something.
  Anyway, I assure You,
I shall not forget to do You the favour.”
Sri Chinmoy, Transcendence-Perfection, Agni Press, New York, 1975
