THE SUPREME GOAL

They who have learned that God is All,And in that light with joy let fallTheir doubts and fears, and kindred chains,Till only purity remains,Will rise to heights where each can say:All earthly things have passed away.

Thy likeness, Lord, is my identity,According to Thy Word, and we are one—The endless unity of Being and its child;Inseparable—distinct, but one.

APPOINTED TO SING

My call had come to fight.

GOD'S OMNIPRESENT GOOD

Why do we reach away from the hereinto the there for our treasures?

"THERE MET HIM TEN"

They met him, pleading to be healed.

HEALING

I sought a healing.

PATIENT GOD

Self-imprisonedwithin the narrow orbitof physical sense,the unperceptivehuman thought,devoid of spiritual seeing.
