817. OUT OF SHEER GENEROSITY
Death, it is out of sheer generosityAnd not out of necessity
That I give you my body.
Heaven, it is out of sheer generosity
And not out of necessity
That I give you my soul.
Earth, it is out of sheer God-necessity,
And my necessity too,
And not out of generosity
That I give you my God-achievements.
Sri Chinmoy, Europe-Blossoms, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
