Spirituality is not like coasting
But exactly like climbing-
Climbing ten thousand Himalayas.

I am extremely grateful to You
For telling me
That my climbing heart-cries
Gladden Your Heart immensely.
My Supreme, my Supreme, my Supreme!

And God will be proud of me

Of your soul’s beauty.

Lives
In the growing, glowing
And climbing
Eternal now.

The truth-mountain,
We see that this world
Is made of
God’s infinite Compassion-Light.

We sleeplessly need
A sky-climbing aspiration.

He will keep His Promise, He will.
But where is your heart’s climbing-cry,
Where is your life’s expanding thrill?
