The - Path - Is - Mapped -Out Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Spiritual perfection
consists in the
twofold way of charity:

service of neighbor
and our direct quest
for God's love.

Many of us discover
ways to love
our neighbor,
but few achieve
intimacy with God
because we don't
know how to prepare
ourselves properly
to reach this exalted goal

of achieving complete
intimacy with God.

The path is
mapped out
centuries ago
by many religious
monks and leaders
of the world religions
who were acclaimed
masters of the
contemplative life.
