12. HE PASSED BEYOND

He passed beyond the world
Of imitation-admiration.
        Therefore
His vision-sky is divinely happy.

He passed beyond the world
Of illumination-realisation.
        Therefore
God’s Existence-Light is supremely happy.

He passed beyond the world
Of revelation-perfection.
        Therefore
He and God are
        Infinity’s Beauty,
        Eternity’s Duty
            And
        Immortality’s Reality.
