It is better to suggest than to proclaim Even as I proclaim that which I suggest For faith can turn a man to God While a demand may turn him away To call a man evil for unbelief Is it to make him more than human Or less? You give him power by declaring him to be so And those who believe in him Grow strong as they defend their right As you grow weak by abandoning faith Defending the universe you placed in your mouth Claimed from Krishna as your own Because silent prayers draw no audience And desire is mistaken as God's will
