11. MY DESIRE-WORLD AND MY ASPIRATION-WORLD
In my world of desireMy body and my soul
Were the dreamers of different dreams.
My body’s sleepless dream: temptation.
My soul’s ageless dream: compassion.
In my world of aspiration
My body and my soul
Are the dreamers of one single dream:
God-manifestation
in
Oneness-realisation.
