God-embrace
I fasted to realise God;Therefore
God laughed at my earth-life
Of stupidity.
I cried to realise God;
Therefore
God smiled at my Heaven-life
Of necessity.
I prayed to realise God;
Therefore
God appreciated my earth-life
Of sincerity.
I meditated to realise God;
Therefore
God embraced my Heaven-life
Of reality.
