નિર્મળ સ્વીકાર!

સ્વીકાર ન હોય મારો, તારો

સાચો સ્વીકાર, 'સ્વીકાર' તણો.

વગર પસંદ! ન વિશેષ કે વાંધો

મૂળત્વમય, વિના 'છેકછાકો'.

વર્ગીકરણનો ન જ્યાં તાળો

ગણિતશાસ્ત્ર વગર સરવાળો.

કલ્પિત, વૈકલ્પિક પ્રભાવ વિહોણો

ન સુધાર અવકાશ કે ફેરફારો.

અર્પણમાં મૂકાતા સતત પ્રયાસો,

સંવાદિતામાં દેખાતા પરિણામો,

જો એ ધરી ને બિંદુથી ઊગતો માન્યો

પલટે સર્વકંઈ, શેષ ફક્ત દિવ્ય ઉદગારો.

જય હો પ્રભુ...

સાદર...

This seed-self sown in the Indeterminate 

Forfeits its glory of divinity, 

Concealing the omnipotence of its Force, 

Concealing the omniscience of its Soul; 

An agent of its own transcendent Will, 

It merges knowledge in the inconscient deep; 

Accepting error, sorrow, death and pain, 

It pays the ransom of the ignorant Night, 

Redeeming by its substance Nature's fall. 

Himself he knew and why his soul had gone 

Into earth's passionate obscurity 

To share the labour of an errant Power 

Which by division hopes to find the One.

BOOK III: The Book of the Divine Mother 331

The word, the form, the charm, the glory and grace 

Are missioned sparks from a stupendous Fire; 

A sample from the laboratory of God 

Of which he holds the patent upon earth, 

Comes to him wrapped in golden coverings; 

He listens for Inspiration's postman knock 

And takes delivery of the priceless gift 

A little spoilt by the receiver mind 

Or mixed with the manufacture of his brain; 

When least defaced, then is it most divine. 

Although his ego claims the world for its use, 

Man is a dynamo for the cosmic work; 

Nature does most in him, God the high rest: 

Only his soul's acceptance is his own. 

This independent, once a power supreme, 

Self-born before the universe was made, 

Accepting cosmos, binds himself Nature's serf 

Till he becomes her freedman — or God's slave. 

This is the appearance in our mortal front; 

Our greater truth of being lies behind: 

Our consciousness is cosmic and immense,

But only when we break through Matter's wall 

In that spiritual vastness can we stand 

Where we can live the masters of our world 

And mind is only a means and body a tool.

BOOK VII: The Book of Yoga 542 543

HARMONY
For all problems of existence are essentially problems of harmony. They arise from the perception of an unsolved discord and the instinct of an undiscovered agreement or unity. To rest content with an unsolved discord is possible for the practical and more animal part of man, but impossible for his fully awakened mind, and usually even his practical parts only escape from the general necessity either by shutting out the problem or by accepting a rough, utilitarian and unillumined compromise. For essentially, all Nature seeks a harmony, life and matter in their own sphere as much as mind in the arrangement of its perceptions. SA

This manifestation of beauty and harmony is part of the Divine realisation upon earth, perhaps even its greatest part. TM
