He is the Soul of our soul, He is the Body of our body -
Our eye veils Him, but He is revealed to the Eye of our eye ;
He is Soul embodied and He is Body ensouled.

He is the farthest of the far and the highest of the high -
The senses cannot accost Him nor any human instrument inveigle ;
He is the nearest of the near and the lowest of the low -
The very earth of our body is kneaded out of His substance.

He is the goal towards which the creation wheels in its ceaseless cycles,
He is the firm foundation upon which the universe is reared.
The vast and fathomless Peace and Silence of Uncreation is He,
He the vehement Energy that swirls out in the aeons and the worlds.

He is the Father whose wise love marshals our destinies,
He is the Mother whose passion-white light accordantly fashions us
                and bears us through,
He is our own Self, ourselves beyond the ignorance and the bondage
                of the moment.

He is there and we are He -
To bring down on earth and incorporate in this body
Something of the high divinities that form His Nature -
Through the travail and storm and stress of yearning mortalities
To give birth to an Immortality
Secured and housed here below.
