MAN’S INNER INSPIRATION

Man’s inner inspiration
Is his outer success.

Man’s inner aspiration
Is his outer progress.

Man’s inner dedication
Is his outer manifestation.

Man’s inner realisation
Is his outer perfection.

Man’s divine hunger
Is his deepest depth.

Man’s divine duty
Is his brightest beauty.

Man’s divine love
Is his highest height.

Man’s divine oneness
Is his purest satisfaction.

The man in God
Is the birthless Knower.

The God in man
Is the deathless Doer.

Man the God discovers within.
God the man uncovers without.
