Perseverance of Aspiration in ‘The Meditations of Mandavya’ (SAP 11)

‘The Meditations of Mandavya’ Part Two (3)

I will not faint, O God. There is this thirst,
And thirst supposes water somewhere. Yes,
But in this life we may not ever find;
Old nature sits a phantom by the way,
Old passions may forbid, old doubts return.
Then are there other lives here or beyond
To satisfy us. I will persist, O Lord.

[CWSA 2: 512]

Between the age of eighteen and twenty I had attained a conscious and constant union with the divine Presence and that I had done it all alone.
