BANYAN TREE

GOD AND MAN

In the ancient days, when the first quiver of speech came to my lips, I ascended the holy mountain and spoke unto God, saying, "Master, I am thy slave.

Thy hidden will is my law, and I shall obey thee forevermore." But God made no answer, and like a mighty tempest passed away.

And after a thousand years, I ascended the holy mountain and again spoke unto God, saying, "Creator, I am thy creation. Out of clay hast thou fashioned me, and to thee I owe mine all." And God made no answer, but like a thousand swift wings passed away.

And after a thousand years, I climbed the holy mountain and spoke unto God again, saying, "Father, I am thy son. In pity and love, thou hast given me birth, and through love and worship, I shall inherit thy kingdom." And God made no answer, and like the mist that veils the distant hills, he passed away.
