To be the naked self without approbation to the world
To see the splendid purpose of creation and then to fulfil it
Yes, this much, nothing less, nothing less,
Joy and the true abandonment into the Self that has no name
For all that is
For all that is not
Creaturely but yeaning for infinite things and names
And then to move beyond the gate of names
And touch the fiery essence
What ambition the heart is prone to!
This and no less –no, never less than this
Merely the beloved and the lover
And all of creation silent or singing at this
