Everest-Aspiration
Everest represents the highest height, and at the same time, humanity’s determination to attain that height. The spiritual Everest is union with the Creator, and through the ages humanity has aspired poignantly toward this lofty goal.
On these pages, Sri Chinmoy speaks alternately as a God-seeker and a God-knower, leading the heart of the aspiring seeker ever higher toward the great summit of self-knowledge, the zenith of God-oneness.

Excerpt:
“Spirituality is man's conscious longing for God. Spirituality tells us that God, who is unknowable today, will tomorrow become knowable and, the day after, will become totally known.
We must need God for God's sake. God can fulfil us in our own way, but it is we who will not be truly fulfilled when God satisfies us in our own way. Our crying heart, our aspiring heart, our illumining heart, will never be satisfied unless and until it pleases God in God's own Way; therefore, our God-realisation is for God's sake. Man's perfection lies in God-satisfaction.
A beginningless beginning tells us that spirituality is an aspiration-plant. This plant grows and grows; eternally it grows. An endless end tells us that spirituality is a surrender-tree. This tree bears divine fruits, and these fruits come to us on the strength of our constant, conscious and surrendered oneness with our Beloved Supreme.”
