270. At the entrance

```

He entered into the vital world

To feel its hunger wild.

At the entrance Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon,

Hitler and Stalin greeted

Him with solemnity.

He entered into the mental world

To feel its hunger great.

At the entrance Socrates, Plato, Aristotle,

Shankara and Madhava greeted

Him with a series of smiles.

He entered into the psychic world

To feed his hunger deep.

At the entrance Rama, Krishna, Christ,

Chaitanya and Ramakrishna greeted

Him with the warmest embrace.
