The pride
In my animal life   When I was at my zenith,
   I was the pride
   Of earth's destruction-power.
   In my human life
   When I am at my zenith,
   I am the pride
   Of Heaven's aspiration-power.
   In my divine life
   When I shall be at my zenith,
   I shall be the pride
   Of God's Perfection-Power.
Sri Chinmoy, Cry within, yours is the Goal, Agni Press, 1974
