A world’s desire compelled her mortal birth

A world’s desire compelled her mortal birth ||5.1||

It is ages of ardent aspiration that have brought us here to do the Divine’s Work.

A world’s desire compelled her mortal birth.

But that desire had to be taken to the supreme Creatrix by the incarnate Yogi himself:


One in the front of the immemorial quest,…

A thinker and toiler in the ideal’s air,

Brought down to earth’s dumb need her radiant power. ||5.2||

Yet the Mother credits the ardent aspiration of the ages that has brought them down here.

One in| the front| of the| im+me+mo|+ri+al quest,|

Pro+tag|+o+nist| of the| mys+te|+ri+ous play|

In which| the Un+known| pur+sues| him+self| through forms|

And lim|+its his| e+ter|+ni+ty| by the hours|

And the| blind Void| strug+gles| to live| and see,|

A think|+er and toil|+er in| the i+de|al’s air,|

Brought down| to earth’s| dumb need| her ra|+di+ant| pow+er.| 5.2

His was| a spir|+it that stooped| from larg|+er spheres|

In+to| our prov|+ince of| e+phem|+er+al sight,|

A col|+o+nist| from im|+mor+tal|+i+ty.| 5.3

A point|+ing beam| on earth’s| un+cer|+tain roads,|

His birth| held up| a sym|+bol and| a sign;|

His hu|+man self| like a| trans+lu|+cent cloak|

Cov+ered the| All-Wise| who leads| the un+see|+ing world.| 5.4

    Dear Sir 🙏

    Your quatation resumes the central point in human life: whatever our situation, we are not alone because even unaware of it there is on/in us Divine Grace, the Presence in us, in our consciousness for ever luminous, free, immortal that knows us better than we ourselves do. This experience is a permanent infinite open influence, suggestion, response to our needs, calls, questions, challenges. It may be felt as voice, intuition, order, but fact remains that we learn to obey, understand and follow that Presence. Finally it is supreme discovery to be certain – that is true Friend, Mother and Father, shelter and home, temple, secure ground, foundation and rock or mine of Wisdom and Divine Will guiding protecting each independently and harmoniously everybody else. Of cause it is secret, invisible Divine Grace in us, our source and goal revealing Her love, power and light of the Saviour, ultimate shelter of future Liberation from ignorance, death and Doom.

    Deep inside the golf of volcanic eruptions, in the center of Earth lives Sun Consciousness emerging as we learn to approach Him with unselfish devotion – uniting above with below, two Suns become One.
