"It has been a difficult thing," I admitted,

"To get this meeting with you, O Heaven!

I should like to hear a word from you

Before I pay my final tribute to the world

Which has been so nicely created by you, O Lord!"

Heaven said, "Ah, man! Your exhausted

Mind and body need to be nourished.

Do you only take your position of inactivity

And things will become transformed

And well accomplished of themselves."

"For this," then Heaven said, "Neglect all

Your minor problems; cast out from you

Your power of hearing and acuity of sight;

Forget that you have a head start on others;

Cultivate a grand similarity with chaos;

Unloose your mind, set your spirit free;

Be still as if you have no soul, and thus

You will injure no one in all the six worlds!"

In a while Heaven added, "If you have

No more questions, man, I am going

To leave you in my dancing way

And return to my garden of delight

Where I'm reveling in all day and night."
