Anything from me.

Thinks that I am

Twenty-seven years old,

And He expects me

To fulfil my responsibilities

In accordance with my age. ```

44.

```

When I fail in something,

God the Mother

When the hour strikes

For me to get up and meditate,

God the Mother

Is more than willing

To grant me another

Fifty-nine minutes to rest

Before I start to meditate.

When the hour strikes

For me to get up and meditate,

God the Father tells me:

"It is already high time

For you to meditate.

Start immediately." ```

48.

```

God the Mother

Teaches me privately.

God the Father

Examines me openly. ```

49.

```

To make God the Mother happy,

I start.

To make God the Father happy,

I continue and complete. ```

50.

```

I am made of

The soulfulness and newness

Of my God the Mother.

I am made of

The seriousness and fulness

Of my God the Father.

Wants me to close my eyes

While meditating,

So I will not be affected

By the imperfection-world.

The world's imperfections

And perfect them. ```

Assuages my heart-pangs.

God the Father

Dries my life-tears. ```

53.

```

When I am in front of

God the Mother,

I somehow feel

That my life's sincerity

Is on trial.

When I am in front of

God the Father,

I somehow feel

That my heart's purity

Is on trial.

```

54.

```

I need God the Mother

As my character-reference.

I need God the Father

As my credential-reference. ```

55.

```

To God the Mother

I offer all my mind-anxieties.

To God the Father

I offer all my heart-insecurities. ```

56.

```

I just tell

God the Mother

What I have in my heart.

I think twice before I tell

God the Father

What I have in my mind.

```

57.

```

God the Mother

Is always ready

To sweeten my heart.

God the Father

Is always ready

To quicken my life.

```

58.

```

To God the Mother

I give my heart

For consolation.

To God the Father

I give my mind

For illumination.

```

59.

```

Lo, God the Mother

Is entering into my heart

With a fresh supply of ecstasy.

Lo, God the Father

Is opening a new embassy

Inside my mind.

```

60.

```

My heart's ingratitude-weeds

Do not sadden

God the Mother.

My life's gratitude-flowers

Do gladden

God the Father.

```

61.

```

My desire-dust

Has blinded

God the Mother's Eye.

My aspiration-thirst

Has thrilled

God the Father's Heart.

```

62.

```

My devastating shortage

Of happiness

Has turned

My God the Mother

Insane.

My devastating shortage

Of faith in myself

Has turned

My God the Father

Insane.
