The Goal!



When we have passed beyond knowing, then we shall have Knowledge. 
Reason was the helper; Reason is the bar.
Transform reason into ordered intuition;
let all thyself be light. This is thy goal.

When we have passed beyond willing, then we shall have Power.
Effort was the helper; Effort is the bar.
Transform effort into an easy and sovereign overflowing of the soul-strength; let all thyself be conscious force. This is thy goal.

When we have passed beyond enjoying, then we shall have Bliss.
Desire was the helper; Desire is the bar.
Transform enjoying into an even and objectless ecstasy;
let all thyself be bliss. This is thy goal.

When we have passed beyond individualizing, then we shall be real Persons. 
Ego was the helper; Ego is the bar.
Transform the divided individual into the world-personality;
let all thyself be the divine. This is thy goal.

When we have passed beyond humanity, then we shall be the Man. 
The Animal was the helper; the Animal is the bar.
Transform the Animal into the Driver of the herds;
let all thyself be Krishna. This is thy goal.
- Sri Aurobindo
