                                   Immanent Yet Transcendent


                               Just like the shine of a bright sun
                                Tears away darkness all around,
                                   Illuminates the path of man
                           And guides him on the earthly mound,
                                   So the light of the inner self
                                Goads him in his voyage of life,
                                 In the way forward of the self
                                Amidst the odds of daily strife.

                         For some, the soul strewn with the dust
                                      Of ego and evil intents,
                                   Enfolded with layers of rust
                                 Shines dim as from a distance;
                              For souls marked with noble deeds
                               And illumined with noble thoughts
                                 The inner light is bright, indeed,
                                   And sparkles afar like a shot.

                             Such souls drawing from the divine,
                               With their immanent light bestow
                              Upon dimmer souls their own shine
                              And steer their way with their glow;
                                   Yet not every immanent soul
                             Can reach the transcendental phase,
                                Attain the Supreme Divine Whole
                                  And forsake the material stage.

                             Transcendental souls worth the name
                          Are those who can cross time and space,
                           Their mind and all their emotions tame,
                                Are rewarded with divine grace
                             And, immersed in spiritual thoughts,
                                      Move beyond spirituality
                                  To be above the common lot
                                     With the light of Divinity.

                             Let`s salute such enlightened souls,
                                   Immanent yet transcendent,
                           Who make the divine realm their goal
                                 And sincerely serve as servants
                                       In spreading spirituality,
                                   The spirit of the divine grace
                                    And the shine of the Trinity
                                     To all, irrespective of race.
