325. Personal and impersonal

O personal God,
Why are You everywhere?
I can't freely walk,
I can't freely talk,
I can't even freely sleep.

O impersonal God,
You are so clever.
You know how to think,
You know how to play hide-and-seek.
For my sake,
For Your sake,
Stay more with me,
If not always with me.
Sri Chinmoy, The Goal is won, Sri Chinmoy Centre, New York, 1974
