On earth,
Closeness is nothingBut physical proximity.
In Heaven,
Closeness is nothingBut the soul's oneness,
Conscious oneness.In God,
Closeness is nothingBut the song of His Self-amorous,
Self-fulfilling Immortality.Human closeness is
Our conscious self-giving of the "I"Which tells us that God is for others
OrThat God cannot be achieved.
ButGod is forever and forever
For the seeker,Who is an instrument of His.
If the seekerFeels that God is eternally
For the seeker,Only for the seeker,
Closeness on earthWill not remain a far cry,
But will become the living breathOf consciousness-reality
In the seeker's aspiration-life. ```From:Sri Chinmoy,Beauty-Drops, Agni Press, 1975
