My Soul

O soul, I am your body. I am thirty-six years old today. I wish to learn from you.

"Do good."

O soul, I am your vital. I am nineteen years old. I want to learn from you.

"Be good."

O soul, I am your mind. I am sixty years old. I need to learn from you.

"See good."

O soul, I am your heart. I am four years old. Please tell me the secret.

"Remain good."

O soul, your body again. What do you do with your boundless love?

"I distribute my boundless love to ever-expanding horizons."

O soul, your vital again. What do you do with your infinite peace?

"I feed the teeming vasts of the past, present and future with my infinite peace."

O soul, your mind again. What do you do with your vision of the ever-transcending Beyond?

"I feather the golden nest of my Reality's Infinitude with my vision of the ever-transcending Beyond."

O soul, once more your heart. Tell me your absolute secret, please.

"I live for the Supreme and for the Supreme alone. This is my absolute secret."
