Into blinding darkness enter those who worship destruction. Into even greater darkness, as it were, fall those who are attached to creation. 

Destruction is of one movement, they declare, and creation of the other. Thus have we heard from the wise who related the truth to us.  

Creation and destruction, who knows them both together, crossing over death through destruction, attains immortality through creation. 

The face of truth is covered by a golden vessel. Remove that, oh Sun who nourishes all, that we may perceive our real nature.  

Sun, our Father, solitary seer, death, who control the power of creation, disperse your rays and gather up your heat that I may see your most beneficent form. The Being in the Sun, He am I!  

Let my life enter the immortal life and the body end in ashes. Om, Intelligence remember, remember your labor; Intelligence remember, remember your labor.  

Fire, lead us by the perfect path to reality, God who knows all the ways of wisdom. Remove from us the wandering evil. The most full utterance of surrender may we offer unto you.
