Two conductors

Man the conductor
    Sees the players
    And
    Sees not the audience.
His hunger for growing appreciation
    Is
    Half fed.

God the conductor
    Hears the aspiration-music of the cosmic gods
    And
    Becomes the appreciation-applause of the divine audience.
His hunger for the joy-distribution
    Is
    Sumptuously fed.
Sri Chinmoy, God the Supreme Musician, Sri Chinmoy Lighthouse, New York, 1970
