540. Progress

```

In the morning of our life,

Our true progress

Is measured

By the yardstick

Of our sense-control.

In the afternoon of our life,

Our true progress

Is measured

By the yardstick

Of our compassion-realisation.

In the evening of our life,

Our true progress

Is measured

By the yardstick

Of our oneness-manifestation.
