172. Responsibility and opportunity
WhenLife is responsibility,
Death is opportunity.
When
Life is opportunity,
Death is futility.
When
We live in the physical,
We come to feel that life
Is man’s responsibility
And
God’s true opportunity.
But
When
We live in the soul,
We come to realise that life
Is God’s responsibility
And
Man’s constant opportunity.
