My imagination tells meThat my God is far, very far.
    My inspiration tells me
That although my God is very far,
I shall be able to reach Him
Someday, somewhere, somehow.
    My aspiration tells me
That I shall ascend one step
And God will descend ninety-nine steps,
And then we shall be together
And become one.
    My realisation tells me
That I do not ascend and God does not descend.
He just comes out of my dream-reality
    And
I just come out of His Reality-dream.
    My revelation tells me
That God and I together reveal
Eternity’s cry,
    Infinity’s smile
    And
    Immortality’s light.
    My manifestation tells me
That we manifest only two things on earth:
The promised land
    And
A perfect life.
