25 Renunciation ...

RENUNCIATION

Lord Supreme,

Do I need earth-renunciation

To love You more?

"My son,

Do I need Love-perfection

To claim you more?"

Lord Supreme,

Tell me the difference

Between my body-renunciation

And my soul-renunciation.

"My son,

Your body-renunciation

Is your clever cry for an immediate

escape.

Your soul-renunciation

Is the invention of your ignorance-dream.

"Son, do you love Me?

Then do not renounce,

Do not reject.

Son, do you need Me?

Then accept and perfect."
