The Golden Boat, part 6

```

Lord Supreme,

I smile to draw the attention

Of my little world around me.

But why do You smile?

What makes You smile?

“My daughter,

Nothing compels Me to smile.

Nothing compels Me to do anything.

But yet I do and act,

For I know I am not only the Doer

But also the action;

I am not only the Speaker

But also the speech.

If I fail to unite My creation-flower

With My Creator-seed,

Nothing can breathe on earth

Even for a fleeting second.

My child, I smile

Because inside the Heart of My Smile

Beauty’s day dawns;

Inside the Body of My Smile

Duty’s morn breaks.”

```
