You know where the abode is, so set a course for it; the highest aspirations race towards it.
أَعْلَى the highest
A superlative / elative 'highest', first term of an 'of' pairing — 'the highest of aspirations' — the subject of 'race', nominative. It owns the noun that follows.
ثمَّ الرِّضَا بهَا وَهُوَ أَعلَى مِنْهُ
Then acceptance of them, which is higher than that.
أَعْلَى higher
An elative, 'higher', the predicate of that clause. The pattern lifts 'high' to 'higher'; its fixed final 'aa' shows no case vowel, so position marks its role.
ثمَّ الشُّكْر عَلَيْهَا وَهُوَ أَعلَى من الرِّضَا
Then gratitude for them, which is higher than acceptance.
أَعْلَى higher
The elative 'higher' again as predicate, its fixed final 'aa' unchanged for case. Gratitude is set above the stage just before it.
