251. Nothing lives forever

Nothing lives forever
Save and except
Man’s inner cry for God.

Nothing lives forever
Save and except
Man’s soul-love for Light.

No one lives forever
Save and except
A man of heart-sacrifice.

No one lives forever
Save and except
A man of constant God-necessity.
Sri Chinmoy, The Wings of Light, part 6, Aum Press, Puerto Rico, 1974
