145. I entered

I entered
Into the sombre care of human thought.
    Nothing there was.

    I entered
Into the illumined Palace of Thought divine.
    Something there was.

    I entered
Into the conditionally surrendered
    Soul of human life.
    There I saw God smiling.

    I entered
Into the unconditionally surrendered
    Soul of Life divine.
    There I saw God becoming.
