791. A student from God's school

He studied at God’s school;
God was his main teacher.
God taught him
Only one thing: necessity.

“Son, if you want to live
Only in the soul’s world,
Then
I am your only necessity.
But if you want to live
In the body’s world,
Then everything is your necessity,
Everybody is your necessity,
I am your necessity,
Countless, yet countless more.
Now that you have completed your studies,
Time has come for you to go home
And begin your life.”
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 16, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
