Only one boon we ask from Thee
Only one boon we ask from Thee
Transmute these earthen vessels into immaculate receptacles
And fill them with Thy transcendent Love,
Delight-content in the lotus-core of the Reality.
Love is the recondite name of the One,
The insoluble bond holding together the manifold creation,
The ever-new mystery which knowledge cannot fathom.
Love is the foundation,
Love is the stair of our ascension
Love is the ring of fire
Which keeps the wolves at bay when falls the darkness,
The miracled tonic that prevents fatigue on the way,
The crown that awaits the seeker at the summit of aspiration.
Mother Divine,
Only Love can realise on earth Thy purple design.
