44. Nectar

If we give what we have,
If we give what we are
   To our Source,
Then it is not only possible and practicable,
   But inevitable
      For us to drink nectar.
What do we have to give?
We have to give what we see,
We have to give what we feel,
We have to give what we claim,
We have to give what we are
   In the outer world
      To the Source.
This moment we are ignorance-prince;
   Next moment we are aspiration-prince.
This moment we represent darkness and ignorance;
   Next moment we represent light and delight.
Whatever we represent at any moment
Should be offered to the Lord Supreme.
If this moment we represent ignorance,
   Then we must offer it.
If the next moment we represent wisdom-light,
   Then we must offer it.
Then at every moment
   We can drink from the fount
   Of divine nectar-delight.
