28. You have freed yourself

You have freed yourself
From the din and roar
Of the exterior world;
    Therefore
God is offering you
His Beauty’s Height.

You have freed yourself
From the ruthless desire-invasion
Of the interior world;
    Therefore
God is offering you
His Duty’s Pride.
Sri Chinmoy, The Golden Boat, part 10, Agni Press, New York, 1974
