TRANSCENDENCE

I am always in awe by the quotes that "predrag_of_the_heart" offers from Sri Chinmoy's Poetry and Prayers on our Inspiration-Group. I am going to write the ones that particularly strike me here, on my blog, so that I will be able to come back and read them easily in time of need...

Here is the first one, from today's front page of Sri Chinmoy's Inspiration-Group

TRANSCENDENCE

Self-transcendence
And
God-transcendence
Are the Self-form
Of the same transcendental Reality.

When I endeavour to fathom
My self-transcendence
With my human comatose eyes,
I see the radical transformation
Of the devouring tiger in me
Into the fast-running, sure-winning deer.

And when I plead with the Supreme
To elucidate the signification
Of transcendence, He just smiles
And declares:

"Yours is the transcendence-task
To touch the feet of My creation
For its fire-pure transformation.

Yours is the transcendence-goal
Where the comity of souls have discovered
Their only haven."

--Sri Chinmoy
