590. Not you, but I

It was not you
Who thought of God!
It was I who thought of God.

It is not you
Who love God!
It is I who love God.

It will not be you
Who will realise God!
It will be I who will realise God.

Of course, I shall share with you
All my possessions.

Since I shall share with you,
You can assist me
Secretly and unreservedly at least,
If not unconditionally.
Sri Chinmoy, The Wings of Light, part 12, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
