સૂર્યદેવ ધરે ઉત્તરીય ગતિ
ધરા ઉત્સવે મકરસંક્રાંતિ
મહિમા ઉજવે સમગ્ર સૃષ્ટિ
પ્રેરણાત્મક એ ઊત્થાન ઉર્ધ્વી...
લીલી લલણી ખીલે તાજગી
અંકુરિત બીજધન ને ભાવિ
મબલખ આયામો રચે યુતિ
જણ, જગ યાચે જ્ઞાન, બુદ્ધિ...
વેદ વંચાવે મંગળ તિથી
ઉત્તર અયન રચે શુભ ઘડી
ઉત્તરાયણ સ્થૂળસૂક્ષ્મ સંદર્ભી
નમન યુગલપ્રીત રવિ-ભૂમિ ...
વાહ કુદરત!
જય હો પ્રભુ...
સાદર...

A Sun has passed, on earth Night's shadow falls.
Yes, there are happy ways near to God's sun;
But few are they who tread the sunlit path;
Only the pure in soul can walk in light.
An exit is shown, a road of hard escape
From the sorrow and the darkness and the chain;
But how shall a few escaped release the world?
The human mass lingers beneath the yoke.
Escape, however high, redeems not life,
Life that is left behind on a fallen earth.
Escape cannot uplift the abandoned race
Or bring to it victory and the reign of God.
A greater power must come, a larger light.

BOOK VI: The Book of Fate 448
Mind is not all his tireless climb can reach,
There is a fire on the apex of the worlds,
There is a house of the Eternal's light,
There is an infinite truth, an absolute power.
The Spirit's mightiness shall cast off its mask;
Its greatness shall be felt shaping the world's course:
It shall be seen in its own veilless beams,
A star rising from the Inconscient's night,
A sun climbing to Supernature's peak.
Abandoning the dubious middle Way,
A few shall glimpse the miraculous Origin
And some shall feel in you the secret Force
And they shall turn to meet a nameless tread,
Adventurers into a mightier Day.
Ascending out of the limiting breadths of mind,
They shall discover the world's huge design
And step into the Truth, the Right, the Vast.
You shall reveal to them the hidden eternities,
The breath of infinitudes not yet revealed,
Some rapture of the bliss that made the world,
Some rush of the force of God's omnipotence,
Some beam of the omniscient Mystery.
