Union with God Necessary
English Translation · I.P. 194
OGOD, I see why you answer not. You are ashamed to be called one who speaks; yet I will not seek to catch you in a dilemma. Why should I fear to call you dumb ? Take me beyond all limits to yourself, giving me this for a response; if you will not receive me, I shall be perplexed indeed. But remember this, ; between giver and receiver this is the rule of piety: the gift must be such as the other can receive; if either be careless of the other, both sides are guilty. Therefore I hope and long to hear your voice; to this end I patiently strive departing not from my resolve, I will not go till I have had an answer from you; know that this is my fixed intention. You may say yes or no, as you will, says Tuka.
