| The
fruit of Soothfastness is true and sweet; The fruit of lusts is pain
and toil; the fruit Of Ignorance is deeper darkness. Yea! For Light
brings light, and Passion ache to have; And gloom, bewilderments,
and ignorance Grow forth from Ignorance.
Those of the first Rise ever higher;
those of the second mode Take a mid place; the darkened souls sink
back To lower deeps, loaded with witlessness!
When, watching life, the living man perceives The only actors are
the Qualities, And knows what rules beyond the Qualities, Then is he
come nigh unto Me! The Soul, Thus passing forth from the Three
Qualities- Whereby arise all bodies- overcomes Birth, Death, Sorrow,
and Age; and drinked deep The undying wine of Amrit. |
