541. Life

```

In the animal life

Competition is indispensable.

Here the struggle for existence, itself,

Is a constant battle.

In the human life

Co-operation is indispensable.

Here collective peace and security

Give birth to progress and prosperity.

In the life divine

Self-dedication is indispensable.

Here universal oneness and love-revelation

Are God-manifestation. ```
