Three Deep Cravings. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Man has three deep cravings of the self.
These are the three expressions of his restlessness.

Man has the craving in him
to be a pilgrim and a wanderer.
It is the longing to go out from his normal world
in search of a lost home.

The next is that craving of heart to heart.
It is the longing of the soul for its perfect mate,
which makes him a lover.

The third is the craving for inward purity
and perfection, which makes him an ascetic,
and in the last resort a saint.
