Pursue!

Pursue! Till the time's due

Let that 'Thing' come to you

The forces, work on too...

The moment you chose

Set forth and strive to

'It' must chose you too...

Wait then till you groom

Appropriate to nurture till bloom

When ripe, 'It' appears too...

Two ways, now in tune

Person in 'thing', 'thing' personated

United one and manifesting unity too...

Lord! 

Your harmony and you and your 'Thing'...

Thank you...

"Pursue thou Him as the firm foundation of things and thou shalt get thee firm foundation; pursue Him as Mahas, thou shalt become Mighty; pursue him as Mind, thou shalt become full of mind; pursue Him as adoration, thy desires shall bow down before thee; pursue Him as the Eternal, thou shalt become full of the Spirit; pursue Him as the destruction of the Eternal that rangeth abroad, thy rivals and thy haters shall perish thick around thee and thy kin who loveth thee not.”

* Sri Aurobindo, The Upanishads, Taittiriya Upanishad, Brahmanandavalli, ch. 10, pg. 281

“The most essential quality is perseverance, endurance, and a — how to put it? — a kind of inner good mood that helps you not to get discouraged, not to become sad, and to face all difficulties with a smile. There is an English word which expresses this very well - cheerfulness. If you can keep this within you, you resist much better, you fight much better, in the Light, these bad influences which try to prevent you from progressing.

It is by persevering that one conquers difficulties, not by running away from them. One who perseveres is sure to triumph. Victory goes to the most enduring.

Perseverance is patience in action.” TM
