887. Next to God

Next to God, of course,
I love you most,
O my unconditional surrender
To God’s Will!

Next to my unconditional surrender, of course,
I love you most,
O my God-discovery!

Next to my God-discovery, of course,
I love you most,
O my aspiration-light!
With you I started my journey;
With you I shall eternally continue.
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 18, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
