217. Two debts

God, let us settle
Our accounts.
God, do I owe You anything?

“Certainly you do, My son.
You owe Me
Your failure-sea
And
Your failure-sky.”
God, here they are.

“Son, do I owe you anything?”
Yes, Lord, You owe me
My Eternal Now.
“Son, here it is.”
Sri Chinmoy, The Wings of Light, part 5, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
