That one is a spell

[Guest guest]

` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` `

 

One in whom the syllable OM

rises steadily upward

from the sex through the navel,

and only OM, forms a bridge to God.

 

That one has no interest

in different kinds of magic.

That one is a spell.

 

- Lalla

14th Century North Indian mystic
