I want to ply my boat…
I want to ply my boat, many times,
Across the gulf-after –death,
And return to earth's shores from my home in Heaven.
I want to load my boat
With those waiting, thirsty ones who are left behind,
And carry them by the opal pool of iridescent joy
Where my Father distributes
His all-desire-quenching liquid peace.
~ Paramahansa Yogananda, “ Man’s Eternal Quest “
