Your Force, O Lord! O Mother!


Your Force, O Lord! O Mother!
In, around, beneath, every where!

That works here and there
In far a reach and a spot closest!

In the one and all others, else
In working, happenings and each act!

In the Globe and else where
In every particle and atom simplest!

In the organic and sublime selves
In an organ and the pshyche related!

In the material and occult spheres 
In realm every visible, subtel, space!

You! The Force, the Power that initiates,
Each move is yours any which way...

Thank you...O Master! 
Grateful as always...

Mere men into spiritual beings grow
And see awake the dumb divinity. 
Intuitive beams shall touch the nature's peaks, 
A revelation stir the nature's depths; 
The Truth shall be the leader of their lives, 
Truth shall dictate their thought and speech and act, 
They shall feel themselves lifted nearer to the sky, 
As if a little lower than the gods. 
For knowledge shall pour down in radiant streams 
And even darkened mind quiver with new life 
And kindle and burn with the Ideal's fire 
And turn to escape from mortal ignorance. 
The frontiers of the Ignorance shall recede, 
More and more souls shall enter into light, 
Minds lit, inspired, the occult summoner hear 
And lives blaze with a sudden inner flame 
And hearts grow enamoured of divine delight 
And human wills tune to the divine will, 
These separate selves the Spirit's oneness feel,
These senses of heavenly sense grow capable,
The flesh and nerves of a strange ethereal joy 
And mortal bodies of immortality. 
A divine force shall flow through tissue and cell
And take the charge of breath and speech and act 
And all the thoughts shall be a glow of suns 
And every feeling a celestial thrill. 
Often a lustrous inner dawn shall come 
Lighting the chambers of the slumbering mind; 
A sudden bliss shall run through every limb 
And Nature with a mightier Presence fill. 
Thus shall the earth open to divinity 
And common natures feel the wide uplift, 
Illumine common acts with the Spirit's ray 
And meet the deity in common things. 
Nature shall live to manifest secret God, 
The Spirit shall take up the human play, 
This earthly life become the life divine."
