::"If I am right, then Mother, Thou art all


::—The ring, the way, the dark, the light, the void, 
::And hunger, sorrow, poverty and pain— 
::From dawn to dusk, from night to morn and life and death 
::— if death there be — 
::All things art Thou.


::If Thou art they, then hunger, poverty and wealth are only transitory shapes of Thine. 


::I do not suffer nor enjoy 
::For Thou art All, and I am surely Thou.
 

::If Thou art He, to mortals manifest, 
::Then pass me through Thy Light to Him —The Truth. 
::The only Truth—to us so dimly known in Thee. 


::Then lash this mortal body as Thou wilt, 
::Or embed in golden comfort rich and soft— 
::I’ll feel it not, for with Thy Light 
::I’ll know For Thou art He and I am Thou— 
::The Truth.”
::[...]
::“Let us glorify Thee, Mother of Light!”
