895. His passport

He forgot
To feed his aspiration-flame.
Therefore,
His passport to Paradise
Was confiscated.

He has started now
To feed his aspiration-flame
Regularly and devotedly.
Therefore,
The Passport Officer Supreme
Has granted him
A new passport.
Also,
The Passport Officer,
On His own,
Has endorsed the names
Of all the higher worlds
For him to visit.
