50. The pride
In my animal lifeWhen 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, The Golden Boat, part 16, Agni Press, 1974
