May 4

God the Poet sings and dreams.
God the Philosopher thinks and drinks.
God the Lover loves and liberates.

The Poet-God sings the Song of Beauty.
He dreams the Dream of Duty.

The Philosopher-God thinks the Thought of Height.
He drinks the Vastness of Light.

The Lover-God loves the world as it is.
He liberates the world from what it is.
Sri Chinmoy, Arise! Awake! Thoughts of a yogi, Frederick Fell, Inc, New York, 1972
