Seeds of Contemplation

[Guest guest]

" By the very dynamics of surrender,

to be one with the Essence,

which is naked Being,

beyond thought and dream--

that is the core of devotion:

For all imaginations fall from Him. "

 

" And this is the way of works,

and this is the way of devotion,

and this is the way of knowledge,

and the way of striving or Yoga,

that Mind is gathered into its source.

That thought turns back in tireless pursuit

of the birth of the thinker,

who has assumed his own truth,

and created the kingdoms of separation. "
