Salutation To The Soul Of Australia

My aspiring heart is saluting you.

My illumining soul is loving you.

In you I see the perfect combination of the

body's service and the vital's dynamism.

Your soul is at once the embodiment

of the ancient sun and revelation

of tomorrow's dawn.

Your body's consciousness is the expansion

of vastness.

Your heart's delight is the perfection

of illumination.

Slowly and steadily your body walks.

Pointedly and unerringly your mind runs.

Devotedly and unconditionally your heart

dives.

Eternally and supremely your soul flies.

Your life's greatness-dream is humanity's

transcendental pride.

Your life's goodness-reality is humanity's

universal treasure.

—Sri Chinmoy
