195. They will claim me
Einstein says:“If my theory of relativity is proven successful,
Germany will claim me as a German and
France will declare that I am a citizen of the world.”
The realised soul in me whispers:
“If my God-realisation is proved,
Mother India will claim me
As her very own.
If my God-revelation is proved successful,
Father America will claim me confidently
As his very own.
If my God-manifestation is proved victorious,
My world-sisters and brothers
Will claim me unreservedly
As their very own.”
