952. My four dreams
I sacrificed my first dream    To fulfil my second dream.
    I sacrificed my second dream
    To fulfil my third dream.
    I sacrificed my third dream
    To fulfil my fourth dream.
    To become a scholar
    Was my first dream.
    To become a poet
    Was my second dream.
    To become a Yogi
    Was my third dream.
To become a God-server in humanity
Was my fourth and last Reality-filled dream.
