747. O God, try to understand me

O God,
Try to understand me
When I go away
From You.
I do not think less of You,
I do not assail You,
I do not wish to dethrone You.

Now
Let me tell You
Why I leave You.
I leave You
Because
I feel that Your
Other children
Also
Must be given a chance
To love You,
To please You,
To claim You.
You, only You.
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 15, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
