413. FATHER, HOW IS IT?

Father, how is it that
   You do not love me
      As You did before?
         Have I done anything wrong?

“My son, ask your doubt-friend.”

Father, how is it that
   You do not care for me any more?
      Have I done anything serious?

“My son, ask your insecurity-friend.”
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, Part 9, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
