God, 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.
