Our lives are God’s messengers beneath the stars;
To dwell under death’s shadow they have come
Tempting God’s light to earth for the ignorant race,
His Love to fill the hollow in men’s hearts,
His bliss to heal the unhappiness of the world.
To dwell under death’s shadow they have come
Tempting God’s light to earth for the ignorant race,
His Love to fill the hollow in men’s hearts,
His bliss to heal the unhappiness of the world.
I am the living body of his light,
I am the thinking instrument of his power,
I incarnate Wisdom in an earthly breast,
I am his conquering and unslayable Will.
I am the thinking instrument of his power,
I incarnate Wisdom in an earthly breast,
I am his conquering and unslayable Will.
The formless Spirit drew in
me its shape;
In me are the Nameless and the secret Name.
In me are the Nameless and the secret Name.
(Book ten, Canto three)
