4878. The God-realisation fun-run
Many have joinedThe God-realisation fun-run.
Some have succeeded
While others have failed.
Many more will run in the future,
And some will succeed
While others will fail.
Let me start now
And see if I can finish the race.
If I fail,
I shall cheerfully join
Those who will run in the future.
But once I start running
The God-realisation fun-run,
I shall never give up for good
Until I have finished the race
Successfully and satisfactorily.
