319. I NEVER CARED TO KNOW
A thing I never cared to know:   Who is for God?
The thing I never cared to learn:
   To cry for me.
But I hear an inner voice
   Telling me
That all human beings
   Consciously or unconsciously,
       Directly or indirectly,
   Care for God,
And all human beings in their perfect sleep
   Cry for me,
       Poor me.
Sri Chinmoy, A Soulful Cry Versus a Fruitful Smile, Agni Press, New York, 1977
