Walk Like a Man
Windows on the World
Swami Kriyananda
Walk like a man, even though you walk alone.
Why court approval, once the road is known?
Let come who will, but if they all turn home,
The goal still awaits you: Go on alone!
Follow your dream, though it lead to worlds unknown.
Life’s but a shadow, once our dreams have flown!
What if men cry, “Your dream is not our own”?
Your soul knows the answer: Go on alone!
Give life your heart! Bless everything that’s grown!
Fear not the loving! All this world’s your own.
Make rich the soil, but once the seed is sown,
Seek freedom, don’t linger: Go on alone!

About Ananda Music
“Music is so much more than entertainment. It doesn’t merely reflect a state of consciousness: It also generates it.” — Swami Kriyananda
Ananda Music began in 1964 when Donald Walters (also known as Swami Kriyananda) was inspired to introduce a new kind of music to the world: music that expresses spiritual aspiration and a desire for a more meaningful way of life. This music is, as its purpose suggests, quite simple, yet beautiful. Find out more about Ananda Music.
