Lustre

When
I am earth-face
I am farther than the farthest from the Supreme.

When
I am Heaven-lustre
I am nearer than the nearest to the Supreme.
Something more:
I am His Eternity's blue Satisfaction
And
His Infinity's gold Perfection.
Sri Chinmoy, Light-Delight-Journeys, Bhakti Press, Ottawa, Canada, 1974
