738. Head or heart

The hour has struck.
You are obliged
To make your final choice:
Head or Heart.

If you choose the head,
Then get ready.
For you there is no transportation
To God’s Palace.
I must warn you:
God’s Palace is farther
Than the farthest point.

If you choose the heart,
Then rest assured
That God has already started flying
On His divine Jet Plane
To reach you
And
Embrace you.
