| I who am the beauty of the green earth, and the
white moon among the stars, and the mystery of the waters, call unto thy
soul: |
|
| Arise, and come unto me. For I am the soul of
nature, who gives life to the universe. |
|
| From Me all things proceed, and unto Me all things
must return; and before My face, beloved of gods and of men, let thine
innermost divine self be enfolded in the rapture of the infinite. |
|
| Let My worship be within the heart that
rejoices; for behold all acts of love and pleasure are My rituals. |
|
| Therefore let there be beauty and strength, power
and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you. |
|
| And thou who thinkest to seek Me, know that thy
seeking and yearning shall avail thee not unless thou knowest the Mystery:
that if that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee, thou wilt
never find it without. |
|
| For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning;
and I am that which is attained at the end of all desire. |
