" The Will to Love is the Law to Live

 

Imagination is the only way we can veil human ignorance

And imagination is the only way we can cream better.

When the mind is inert it is asleep or unconscious;

When alive with imagination, it can achieve anything.

Imagination can explode into the far depths of space,

Or it can be imploded to condense within ourselves.

Out or in, no time or distance can restrict or limit it. I

magination made the energy to create many universes

And can also be the great dynamic power to destroy them.

Imagination is the energy of Yoga-Magick ready to use.

When you desire it, it will come and saturate your mind

But when dull or sleepy it will evaporate away.

 

Our fantasy can mould a new design,

The winged white horse imagination rides,

Then spreads its wings as energy explodes;

Matter and Spirit part as God divides.

The winged white wind horse rides eternity;

A new star now does burn beyond the sun;

Somewhere a Yogi has the Weirdglow won

And all his earthly chores have now been done.

 

India has a wonderful record for ways of spiritual mode/method,

Yet, in recent decades, the hush has become so unbearable,

And the Light of Wisdom vanishes beneath technological crust

And even the priests of the sanctum become political predators.

 

But Yoga's crepuscule cosmopolitan character is truly cosmic

And now it has spread to germinate in many other lands;

For this is how the Lords of Light always wished it to be.

 

For the Law of the Cosmos has devised that the Natha Sadhus

And the Lords of AMOOKOS,

Be the highest attained and the Gurus of Twilight Yoga.

Thus the esoteric Magick of our Pagan Kingdom will endure.

 

Yoga must ever retain the fabulous fantasy of our Magick World;

Developing the Power of Will and Wonder of the Imagination.

If we ever sink into the routine trivia, the boredom sleep,

 

We have then retreated into the darkness of ignorance.

Magick, Imagination, Fantasy and even most bizarre patterns

Spring only from the abstract heights of human intelligence.

You cannot be told how to do this; it must come from within.

Sometimes you must create your own environment phantasmagoria

Sensational robes, nakedness, decor, delight, dark or colour.

Nonsense names, amphigory, hyperbole, rainbow rhetoric.

An extravaganza of imaginative patterns fit for the divine.

In ludicrous life and in civilization which is a conspiracy

Our Quaint Quantum of Quality explodes the Giant Quasars

For the Sorcery of the Eternal Enchanter is Unlimitable.

Those entering a New Aeon must develop five new senses.

 

For the Yogi who has imbibed the Delightful Nectar of God

Enjoys Immortality;, no other drink can ever taste so good.

Now our brightest star develops into Insight-Intuition,

While Awareness and Wonder sparkles with New Thinking

And the Guardian Spirit is much nearer than before.

We are timed with surprise, why we did not see sooner

Or why we had forgotten the Nectar of Immortality!

This is our Magick Circle and Gateway to the Universes,

Make it as lovely as fantasy and imagination can.

 

You are entering a Magick Kingdom where anything is possible

Yet there will ever remain things hidden from lesser mankind,

For if Siddhis and Magick Powers were gifted to the bad

Harm they may do will recoil on the donor who gave them.

 

Yoga propounds no rules of sex abnegation; food fads are absent,

But Yoga is always based on a path of intelligent moderation.

Not eating sufficient can be just as bad as eating too much.

Simple life does not mean the denial of modern invention,

Medicine or other facilities which are useful or needed.

Simple life does not mean wearing skins or living in caves.

Our ancestors did this only because of want of know how.

Some things are basic needs, others are only useless wants,

The Yogi knows the difference and shows discrimination.

 

The Yogi seeks the Equipoise between the Opposites of Life.

Those who seek neither night or day love the twilight.

Between happiness or sorrow our world is unperturbed.

Neutrality is our stand in conflicting ways and events.

Weep not for the sorrow scene or become lost in its pleasures.

It is only a fool who lights a match to better see the sun.

Equipoise in success or failure is the hall-mark of Yoga.

When the dark of night vanishes in the light of sunrise glow,

Cosmic space vanishes and we become separated from it by day;

Then when sunset time comes and the auspicious twilight begins

We see again the vast cosmos and its living orbs of light

And the vast dark canopy on which they glow and sparkle.

Thus these two twilight periods are special for all Yogis

As the times when meditation and contemplation are best,

For this reason, we call our Numinous Path Twilight Yoga.

 

Shakti, the Goddess Lalita, creates the millions of universes;

Shiva protects them; while Kali makes to destroy them;

But the Natha, as Guru, liberates all manifold living forms.

Equipoise, Dynamism, Inertia; Three Gunas are our play.

The Veil of Maya obscures and obstructs our human life

But it cannot forever hide the Yoga Way of Liberation.

God is limited by Ignorance but exalted by our Wisdom

Yogis remain aloof, unlimited by activity or non-activity.

Yoga is the ever brilliant flame for everyone in bondage;

A celestial fire which may, one day, liberate mankind.

For those who follow the Yogi develop his luminescence.

There is no philosophy, only Illumination-Mind-Expansion. "
