41. Love

I love God
    Because
I feel that with God's Love
I can create within me
    A new world — a world of beauty,
    A new consciousness,
    A new Kingdom of Heaven.

God loves me
    Precisely because
Without me
He feels He is
    Hopeless,
    Fruitless,
    Useless.
Without me
His existence has no meaning;
    Therefore
God loves me —
The seeker in me,
The lover in me.
Sri Chinmoy, Beauty-Drops, Agni Press, 1975
