296. I DON’T BELIEVE IT
I don’t believe it.   How can God speak ill of me?
   How can He?
Am I not His extended Self?
Am I not His imperfect Self?
Am I not entirely His,
       Only His?
No, my Lord cannot speak ill of me,
   For I am He,
   Swimming in the preparation-sea.
Sri Chinmoy, A Soulful Cry Versus a Fruitful Smile, Agni Press, New York, 1977
