He following verses are addressed as a prayer for enlightenment to the Universal
Spirit which is One but takes various shapes with various powers and functions, that will
in the end re-unite and be lost in Him-the Sun, the Moon, the Air, the starry firmament,
fire, water, Brahma, the Lord, man and woman, in youth or in tottering old age, beast,
bird, insect, the dark-blue bee, the green parrot with red eyes, the clouds that shoot
forth lightning, the ocean, the seasons-all will be re-absorbed in Him that has no
beginning, the cause of All.
The Divine Spirit that has forged and
brought the Universe into being, the Supreme Soul, ever dwells in the hearts of men. He is
revealed by the heart and intellect combining and controlling the mind and by meditation.
They attain deathlessness who thus sees Him revealed. |
