All can be done
if the God-touch is there
~
Only a little
The God-light can stay.
~
A traveller between summit and abyss.
~
The human in him
Paced with the Divine.
~
God shall grow up
While the wise men
Talk and sleep.
~
We are sons of God
And must be even as he.
~
Beyond earth's longitudes and latitudes.
~
Our life
Is a holocaust
Of the Supreme.
~
Oh, surely one day
He shall come to our cry.
~
None can reach heaven
Who has not
Passed through hell.
~
Our human state
Cradles the future god.
~
The One by whom all live,
Who lives by none.
~
Escape brings not the victory and the crown.
~
In absolute silence
Sleeps an absolute Power.
~
A God comes down greater by the fall.
~
A giant dance of Shiva tore the past.
~
Whoever is too great
Must lonely live.
~
The soul in man
Is greater
Than his fate.
~
The life you lead
Conceals the light you are.
~
The great are strongest
When they stand alone.
~
The day-bringer
Must walk
In darkest night.
~
Our life is a march
To a victory
Never won.
~
Man can accept his fate,
He can refuse.
~
His failure is not failure
Whom God leads.
~
I wear the face of Kali
When I kill.
~
One man's perfection
Still can save the world.
~
He who would save the world
Must share its pain.
~
All is too little that the world can give.
~
I shall save earth,
If earth consents
To be saved.
~
He Who Chooses The Infinite Has Been Chosen by the Infinite
~
Truth born too soon
Might break
The imperfect earth.
~
A cave of darkness guards the eternal Light.
~
A death-bound littleness is not all we are.
~
A Light there is that leads,
A Power that aids.
~
A moment sees,
The ages toil to express.
~
All our earth starts from mud and ends in sky.
Asiaa...
The Adoration of the Divine Mother:
A burning Love from white spiritual founts
Annulled the sorrow of the ignorant depths;
Suffering was lost in her immortal smile.
A Life from beyond grew conqueror here of death;
To err no more was natural to mind;
Wrong could not come where all was light and love.
The Formless and the Formed were joined in her:
Immensity was exceeded by a look,
A Face revealed the crowded Infinite.
Incarnating inexpressibly in her limbs
The boundless joy the blind world-forces seek,
Her body of beauty mooned the seas of bliss.
At the head she stands of birth and toil and fate,
In their slow round the cycles turn to her call;
Alone her hands can change Time's dragon base.
Hers is the mystery the Night conceals;
The spirit's alchemist energy is hers;
She is the golden bridge, the wonderful fire.
The luminous heart of the Unknown is she,
A power of silence in the depths of God;
She is the Force, the inevitable Word,
The magnet of our difficult ascent,
The Sun from which we kindle all our suns,
The Light that leans from the unrealised Vasts,
The joy that beckons from the impossible,
The Might of all that never yet came down.
All Nature dumbly calls to her alone
To heal with her feet the aching throb of life
And break the seals on the dim soul of man
And kindle her fire in the closed heart of things.
All here shall be one day her sweetness' home,
All contraries prepare her harmony;
Towards her our knowledge climbs, our passion gropes;
In her miraculous rapture we shall dwell,
Her clasp shall turn to ecstasy our pain.
Our self shall be one self with all through her.
