978. My need is my only limit

At last I have come to realise
That my need
Is my only limit.
Otherwise, by this time
I could easily have become
Another God.

“My child, you are a fool.
You are already
Another God.”

If I am another God,
How is it that there is
Such a difference
Between You and me?

“The difference exists
Because
Unlike Me,
You have been all along
Neglecting all your duties
And
Avoiding all your responsibilities.”
Sri Chinmoy, The Dance of Life, part 20, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1973
