Poems on self-transcendence

self-transcendence-dream

 

If we believe
In our own
Self-transcendence-task
Then there can be
No unreachable goal.

1

Continue, continue and continue,
And all the time try to transcend
Your previous limits.

2

Self-transcendence means
Self-expansion
In every way.

3

Faith
Sings the song
Of self-transcendence.

4

Self-transcendence-joy
Unmistakably knows
No equal.

5

Self-transcendence
Is eagerness
In action.

6

No matter how many times I fail
I shall not give up,
For my goal
Will not accept
Any defeat.

7

Spirituality
Is a breathless
Self-transcendence-adventure.

8

Challenge
All your insurmountable obstacles.
You are bound to succeed.

9

The determination in your heroic effort
Will permeate your mind and heart
Even after your success or failure
Is long forgotten.

10

Our philosophy
Is progress.
In our self-transcendence
Is our tremendous joy.

11

The soul teaches the body
Never to accept
Any limitation.

12

Individual self-transcendence
Collectively inspires
Humanity at large.

13

Even
Self-transcendence-attempts
Are most remarkable.

14

Participation carries the message
Of oneness
And self-transcendence.

15

Beloved Lord Supreme,
Do You approve of
My self-transcendence song?

“My son, not only do I approve
But it is I who will
Sing in you,
Sing through you
My Eternity’s Vision-Reality Song.”

16

Do not ride the mighty waves
Of dark despair
If you want to sit on the unparalleled throne
Of self-transcendence.

17

A self-transcendence-mind
Has peace.
A oneness-heart
Is peace.

18

I dearly love
My self-transcendence races.

19

When you compete with others,
Victory overshadows
Self-transcendence.

20

I must arrive
At my
Self-transcendence-shore.

21

“More, ever more! More, ever more!” —
This self-transcendence-song
Is my true philosophy.

22

God dearly loves
My life’s
Self-transcendence-call.

23

Self-transcendence
Is my
Ever-blossoming goal.

24

What I needed,
I now have:
A self-transcendence-will.

25

The pride of the earthly race
And the joy of the Heavenly race
Have the same goal: self-transcendence.

26

First things first.
You do not have to know
The secret of peace.
You just have to know
The secret of self-transcendence.
Your self-transcendence
Will surround your entire being
With peace.
