448. Four promises
I made three promisesTo the Supreme:
I shall appreciate the outer beauty
Through my inner eye,
I shall love the outer world
Through my inner heart,
I shall be the bridge
Between the hunger of the earth-body
And
The fulfilment of the Heaven-soul.
The Supreme made
One promise to me:
No matter how many times I fail,
He will come to me in His form of
Compassion-sky
And
Patience-sea.
