358. I OCCUPIED MYSELF WITH PRAYER

I occupied myself with prayer;
  Therefore
God-cries welcomed me.

I occupied myself with prayer;
  Therefore
God wanted me to sit at His Feet.

I occupied myself with prayer;
  Therefore
God wanted me to touch His Heart.

I occupied myself with prayer;
  Therefore
God wanted me to dine with Him
  In silence,
  In the height
  Of His Transcendental Silence-glory.
Sri Chinmoy, Transcendence-Perfection, Agni Press, New York, 1975
