\nThe
\nKingdoms of the Greater Knowledge<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Summary<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n
From the soul-state Aswapathy returns again to the surface. He
\nstands in a realm of Silence, alone and still. He has gone beyond the
\nreign of Nature, beyond the sphere of Mind. It is a plane of
\nundetermined Spirit beyond Thought. Here is a voice that the human
\near cannot hear, a Knowledge that is gained by identity, a Love that
\nunifies. Here is the original massed plenitude of Power prior to
\ncreation. This is the place of the spiritual birth of things.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAswapathy sees the
\nsplendour of the Spirit’s kingdoms\u2014the glory of the One as All. All
\nforms are shapes of the Spirit, all forms are outbursts of the
\nSpirit’s truth. He passes on and sees the Powers that preside over
\nthe world. Knowledge calls him to her peaks. An all-revealing Light
\nleads him to the regions of transcendent Truth where Time and Space
\nare seen in their true nature as self-extensions and self-durations
\nof the Spirit. The Beauty and Harmony of Creation unveil themselves
\nto his vision. He beholds the play of Inspiration, Revelation and
\nIntuition.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nFreed from the hold
\nof sleep and death he crosses seas of the Cosmic Mind and nears the
\nrim of eternity, the borders of the Ineffable. Above him are the
\nHierarchies of Planes, Powers and Gods, presiding over the whole
\nCreation. He has reached the top of all that can be known and only
\nthe last Mystery is left. All the multiplicity flows into the One and
\nhe becomes a portion of that Glory.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nNo untruth can come
\nhere. Each is unique and yet all are one the Impersonal and the
\nPersonal, movement and quiescence, exist side by side.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nA symbol of the
\nself, the body is an immortal point of power in the surge of cosmic
\nlife. Consciousness is one single weft. Space does not divide, Time
\nis one. Idea embodies Vision and Vision proceeds from Identity.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAswapathy is
\nnew-born in this Kingdom of the Spirit’s power and light. His
\nKnowledge grasps the Unfathomable, embraces all without segmentation.
\nHe thinks and feels in all. He is in communion with the
\nIncommunicable. He moves and converses with greater Beings and Gods.
\nThe primal Energy enters into him, an overwhelming Light envelops his
\nbrain. He studies the secrets of the Overwind region. He is in tune
\nwith the supernal harmonies and links up in his consciousness the
\ncreation and the Eternal’s sphere. He wields the Cosmic Force.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>

\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Return
\nto Surface Fields<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nAfter a measureless
\nmoment of the soul
Again returning to these surface fields
Out
\nof the timeless depths where he had sunk,
He heard once more the
\nslow tread of the hours. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAfter an eternal
\nmoment in this state of the soul, Aswapathy comes out of these
\ntimeless profounds back to the surface region and is once again in
\nthe field of Time.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Awaits
\nthe Voice<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nAll once perceived
\nand lived was far away;
Himself was to himself his only scene.
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAbove the Witness
\nand his universe
He stood in a realm of boundless silences
\n
Awaiting the Voice that spoke and built the worlds. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAll that was
\nexperienced before recedes far away. He is absolutely alone. He is
\npoised above both his subjective and his objective self and stands in
\na realm of infinite silences, awaiting the creative Word that builds
\nthe universe as it breaks forth.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Sheer
\nExistence<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nA light was round
\nhim wide and absolute,
A diamond purity of eternal sight;
A
\nconsciousness lay still, devoid of forms,
Free, wordless,
\nuncoerced by sign or rule,
For ever content with only being and
\nbliss;
A sheer existence lived in its own peace
On the single
\nspirit\u2019s bare and infinite ground. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nThere is around
\nAswapathy a wide, pure and powerful light. It is a still
\nConsciousness, free of forms or sound, unformulated, content in its
\nown being and bliss. It is a pure existence living in its own peace
\non the soundless bosom of the sole Spirit.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Undetermined
\nSpirit<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nOut of the sphere of
\nMind he had arisen,
He had left the reign of Nature\u2019s hues and
\nshades;
He dwelt in his self\u2019s colourless purity. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nIt was a plane of
\nundetermined spirit
That could be a zero or round sum of things,
\n
A state in which all ceased and all began. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAswapathy has arisen
\nabove the range of Mind, beyond the variegations of Nature’s hues,
\nand now dwells in the neutral purity of his self. Here nothing is
\nformulated, all is one Spirit. It strikes as a zero, a void or a
\nrounded totality. It is a state which is at once the end of things
\nand their beginning.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>High
\nVast Peak<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nAll it became that
\nfigures the absolute,
A high vast peak whence spirit could see
\nthe worlds,
Calm\u2019s wide epiphany, wisdom\u2019s mute home,
A
\nlonely station of Omniscience,
A diving-board of the Eternal\u2019s
\npower,
A white floor in the house of All-Delight. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nIt is a vast figure
\nof the Absolute, a high peak commanding a view of all the worlds for
\nthe Spirit. It is the birthplace of Calm, the home of Wisdom, the
\nself-station of Omniscience, the springboard of the Eternal’s Power,
\nthe pure foundation of the house of universal Bliss.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Thought
\nthat Passes beyond Thought<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nHere came the
\nthought that passes beyond Thought,
Here the still Voice which
\nour listening cannot hear,
The Knowledge by which the Knower is
\nthe Known,
The Love in which Beloved and Lover are one. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHere is the thought
\nthat goes beyond thinking, the still Voice which the human ear cannot
\nhear, the Knowledge in which the distinction between the Knower and
\nthe Known ceases and there is an identity between the subject and the
\nobject, the Love which unites in itself the lover and the loved.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Spiritual
\nBirth<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nAll stood in an
\noriginal plenitude,
Hushed and fulfilled before they could create
\n
The glorious dream of their universal acts;
Here was
\nengendered the spiritual birth,
Here closed the finite\u2019s crawl
\nto the Infinite. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAll the creative
\nPowers stand here in their native abundance. Even before they throw
\nthemselves out into the splendid activity of the universe, they are
\ncontent and fulfilled. Here takes place the spiritual birth of things
\nbefore they pass into the successive steps of manifestation; here
\nalso ends the slow return journey of the finite to the Infinite.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>At
\nthe Doors of the Unknowable<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nA thousand roads
\nleaped into Eternity
Or singing ran to meet God\u2019s veilless
\nface. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nThe known released
\nhim from its limiting chain,
He knocked at the doors of the
\nUnknowable. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAll the multitude of
\npaths of the ascent through Time soar here into Eternity or rush in
\ndelight to meet the unveiled Divine.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAswapathy is freed
\nfrom the Knowledge that binds one to its limits and he now approaches
\nthe Unknowable.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Splendour
\nof the Spirit’s Realms (I)<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nThence gazing with
\nan immeasurable outlook
One with self\u2019s inlook into its own
\npure vasts,
He saw the splendour of the spirit\u2019s realms,
The
\ngreatness and wonder of its boundless works,
The power and
\npassion leaping from its calm,
The rapture of its movement and
\nits rest, <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAswapathy gazes out
\nwith a look which is at one with the inner gaze of the self into its
\nown profounds and sees the glory of the realms of the Spirit. He sees
\nthe might and marvel of the workings of the Spirit, its calm
\nsupporting all its intensity and the power issuing from it, the
\nSpirit in the rapture of its movements and of its rest.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Splendour
\nof the Spirit’s Realms (II)<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nAnd its fire-sweet
\nmiracle of transcendent life,
The million-pointing undivided
\ngrasp
Of its vision of one same stupendous All,
Its
\ninexhaustible acts in a timeless Time,
A space that is its own
\ninfinity. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHe sees also the
\nflaming miracle of its transcendent life, its vision of the one
\nembracing the vast multiplicity, its timeless pouring out in Time and
\nthe self-extension of its infinity into Space.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Multiple
\nof our Self<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nA glorious multiple
\nof one radiant Self,
Answering to joy with joy, to love with
\nlove,
All there were moving mansions of God-bliss;
Eternal
\nand unique they lived the One. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHere all are
\nconscious, luminous projections of the One Self\u2014embodiments of
\nDivine Bliss in manifestation, one being in many forms responding to
\nitself in joy and in love. Each is eternal and unique but at the same
\ntime all live in the One.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Spirit
\nis no more Hid<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nThere forces are
\ngreat outbursts of God\u2019s truth
And objects are its pure
\nspiritual shapes;
Spirit no more is hid from its own view,
All
\nsentience is a sea of happiness
And all creation is an act of
\nlight. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHere forces are
\npowerful radiations of the Truth of the Spirit in manifestation;
\nobjects are the self-shapings of the Spirit. Unlike in the material
\nuniverse, here the spirit is not veiled in its form; it is evident in
\nall its poises. All sensation is replete with happiness. And all
\ncreation is a direct, unobstructed, undeformed act of life.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nOut of the neutral
\nsilence of his soul
He passed to its fields of puissance and of
\ncalm
And saw the Powers that stand above the world,
Traversed
\nthe realms of the supreme Idea
And sought the summit of created
\nthings
And the almighty source of cosmic change. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAswapathy witnesses
\nall from the untouched silence of his soul and passes into realms of
\nPower and Calm. He beholds the mighty Powers that stand above the
\nworld and oversee it. He journeys through the region of the
\nTruth-Idea that prefigures the universe and seeks the highest height
\nof creation and the dynamic source of all change in the cosmos.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Mystic
\nPeaks of Knowledge<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nThere knowledge
\ncalled him to her mystic peaks
Where thought is held in a vast
\ninternal sense
And feeling swims across a sea of peace
And
\nvision climbs beyond the reach of Time. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nKnowledge beckons to
\nhim from her mystic summits where thought does not have to be
\nlaboured out but is there ready, a part of a vast inner sense, where
\nfeeling is not agitated or restless but moves on the bosom of peace,
\nwhere vision is not confined to the immediate but extends beyond the
\nrange of Time.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>An
\nEqual of the First Creator Seers<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nAn equal of the
\nfirst creator seers,
Accompanied by an all-revealing light
He
\nmoved through regions of transcendent Truth
Inward, immense,
\ninnumerably one. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAswapathy feels his
\nconsciousness on par with the original creating seers. He is guided
\nby a light that reveals all to his vision. He traverses vast inner
\nrealms of the transcendent Truth and grasps the One in its totality.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Time
\nand Space<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nThere distance was
\nhis own huge spirit\u2019s extent;
Delivered from the fictions of
\nthe mind
Time\u2019s triple dividing step baffled no more;
Its
\ninevitable and continuous stream,
The long flow of its
\nmanifesting course,
Was held in spirit\u2019s single wide regard.
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHere Aswapathy
\nexperiences Space as the self-extension of his own Spirit. He also
\nclearly sees Tune, freedfrom the mind-imposed divisions of past,
\npresent and future, as one continual stream of the duration of the
\nConsciousness in manifestation.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Universal
\nBeauty<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nA universal beauty
\nshowed its face;
The invisible deep-fraught significances,
Here
\nsheltered behind form\u2019s insensible screen,
Uncovered to him
\ntheir deathless harmony
And the key to the wonder-book of common
\nthings. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nA pervading,
\nuniversal Beauty reveals itself. Significances of things are no more
\nhidden behind the exterior of forms; they become patent to his eye
\nand show their unbroken harmony and the secret of the wonder that
\nbeckons in the commonest things.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Measures
\nand Lines Revealed<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nIn their uniting law
\nstood up revealed
The multiple measures of the uplifting force,
\n
The lines of the World-Geometer\u2019s technique,
The
\nenchantments that uphold the cosmic web
And the magic underlying
\nsimple shapes. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHe sees the multiple
\nmovements of the Force at work in the universe in contact with their
\none governing law, the patterns of the intricate creative process,
\nthe fascinating supports of the web of the cosmos and the unique
\nskill that unlerlies the formulation of shapes apparently simple.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Triple
\nFire<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nOn peaks where
\nSilence listens with still heart
To the rhythmic metres of the
\nrolling worlds,
He served the sessions of the triple fire.
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nOn the rim of two
\ncontinents of slumber and trance
He heard the ever unspoken
\nReality\u2019s voice
Awaken revelation\u2019s mystic cry,
The
\nbirth-place found of the sudden infallible Word
And lived in the
\nrays of an intuitive Sun. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nOn heights where
\nSilence listens to the rhythmic measures of the movements of the
\nworlds, Aswapathy participates in the luminous manifestation of
\nInspiration, Revelation and Intuition, on the borders between the
\nstates of sleep and trance, he hears the voice of the secret Reality
\nushering in Revelation, finds the source of Inspiration and lives in
\nthe rays of Intuition.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Near
\nthe Verges of Eternity<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nAbsolved from the
\nligaments of death and sleep
He rode the lightning seas of cosmic
\nMind
And crossed the ocean of original sound;
On the last
\nstep to the supernal birth
He trod along extinction\u2019s narrow
\nedge
Near the high verges of eternity,
And mounted the gold
\nridge of the World-dream
Between the slayer and the saviour
\nfires; <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nFreed from the bonds
\nof sleep and death, Aswapathy freely traverses the regions of the
\ncosmic Mind and crosses vast expanses of the primal Sound. He is on
\nthe final lap of his journey to supernal existence; warily he walks
\nalong the narrow edges of nirvanic extinction on the high borders of
\nEternity; he climbs the shining ridge of the world-stair between the
\npowers that slay and the powers that save.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Presence
\nof the Ineffable<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nThe belt he reached
\nof the unchanging Truth,
Met borders of the inexpressible Light
\n
And thrilled with the presence of the Ineffable. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHe reaches the realm
\nof the permanent, unvarying Truth, touches the region of ineffable
\nLight and thrills to the presence of the Reality beyond speech.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Flaming
\nHierarchies<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nAbove him he saw the
\nflaming Hierarchies,
The wings that fold around created space,
\n
The sun-eyed Guardians and the golden Sphinx
And the tiered
\nplanes and the immutable Lords. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAbove him Aswapathy
\nsees the luminous orders of the Planes and their firmly poised Lords.
\nHe sees the wings of the Spirit that loom over the Creation, the
\nlustrous Guardian-Powers and the embodied Mystery of Truth.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Wisdom
\nWaiting<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nA wisdom waiting on
\nOmniscience
Sat voiceless in a vast passivity;
It judged not,
\nmeasured not, nor strove to know,
But listened for the all-seeing
\nThought
And the burden of a calm transcendent Voice. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHe sees a Wisdom at
\nthe portals of Omniscience, sitting mute, vast, passive; it waits
\nwithout the action of either judging or measuring or knowing. It
\nstays still, listening for the whole-visioned Thought and the calm
\nVoice from above.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Top
\nof what can be Known<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nHe had reached the
\ntop of all that can be known:
His sight surpassed creation\u2019s
\nhead and base;
Ablaze the triple heavens revealed their suns,
\n
The obscure Abyss exposed its monstrous rule. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAswapathy has indeed
\nreached the zenith of all that can be known. His vision extends
\nbeyond the summit and the base of creation. The triple heavens of
\nTruth above shine in their glory and the nether Abyss of Nescience
\nstands exposed in its horrid sway.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Eternities
\nCall Eternities<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nAll but the ultimate
\nMystery was his field,
Almost the Unknowable disclosed its rim.
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHis self\u2019s
\ninfinities began to emerge,
The hidden universes cried to him;
\n
Eternities called to eternities
Sending their speechless
\nmessage still remote. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAll except the
\nultimate Mystery comes within his consciousness. It looks as if the
\nUnknowable almost reveals a rim of itself. The veiled infinities of
\nhis self begin to emerge; the hidden worlds without call the hidden
\nworlds within.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>Million
\nEnergies Join<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nArisen from the
\nmarvel of the depths
And burning from the superconscious heights
\n
And sweeping in great horizontal gyres
A million energies
\njoined and were the One. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAll flowed
\nimmeasurably to one sea:
All living forms became its atom homes.
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAll the innumerable
\nenergies arising from the mysterious depths of inconscience, flaming
\non the heights of superconscience, inundating all in their vast
\nextension around, come together and are seen to be but One Energy.
\nThey are revealed to be the self-formulations of One Force. It is one
\nsea of Consciousness-Force and all the living forms are its billion,
\nconcentrated embodiments.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>A
\nPanergy Harmonises<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nA Panergy that
\nharmonised all life
Held now existence in its vast control;
A
\nportion of that majesty he was made. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAt will he lived in
\nthe unoblivious Ray. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAll existence comes
\nunder the harmony and control of one pervasive Energy. Aswapathy
\nbecomes a part of this glory and effortlessly lives in its conscious
\nillumination.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\n
<\/FONT><\/FONT>No
\nUntruth can Come<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nIn that high realm
\nwhere no untruth can come,
Where all are different and all is
\none,
In the Impersonal\u2019s ocean without shore
The Person in
\nthe World-Spirit anchored rode;
It thrilled with the mighty
\nmarchings of World-Force,
Its acts were the comrades of God\u2019s
\ninfinite peace. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nNo untruth can creep
\nin into this realm. Each is unique and yet all are One. There is the
\nvast spread of the Impersonal Spirit, but there is here also the
\nSpirit as the Person. Mighty movements of the World-Force exist side
\nby side with the infinite Peace of God.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>

\nAn adjunct glory and
\na symbol self,
The body was delivered to the soul,
An
\nimmortal point of power, a block of poise
In a cosmicity\u2019s wide
\nformless surge,
A conscious edge of the Transcendent\u2019s might
\n
Carving perfection from a bright world-stuff,
It figured in
\nit a universe\u2019s sense. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHere the body is not
\ndivorced from the soul. It is the extended glory and the symbol of
\nthe self. It is an immortal condensation of power, a firm station in
\nthe ceaseless flow of the cosmos, a conscious instrument of the
\nTranscendent Spirit for creating perfection from the bright
\nworld-substance. It reveals in its form the inner meaning of the
\nuniverse.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>

<\/FONT><\/FONT>Consciousness
\nSingle Weft<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>

\n


\nThere consciousness
\nwas a close and single weft;
The far and near were one in
\nspirit-space,
The moments there were pregnant with all time.
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHere there are no
\nbreaks or divisions in consciousness; it is woven into a single
\ncompact whole. There are no fars and nears in the Spirit’s extension.
\nas Space; all is here at once. Time is not foreign to Eternity; each
\nmoment of Time contains in itself Eternity.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>

<\/FONT><\/FONT>Life
\na Journey of the Spirit<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nThe superconscient\u2019s
\nscreen was ripped by thought,
Idea rotated symphonies of sight,
\n
Sight was a flame-throw from identity;
Life was a marvellous
\njourney of the spirit,
Feeling a wave from the universal Bliss.
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nThought impinges
\nupon the superconscient and forces an opening. Idea expresses
\ndynamically and repeatedly the harmonies of Truth-Vision and this
\nVision is born of Identity. Life is a wonderful voyage of the Spirit
\nand all feeling is a wave thrown up by the sea of the universal
\nBliss.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>

\nIn the kingdom of
\nthe Spirit\u2019s power and light,
As if one who arrived out of
\ninfinity\u2019s womb
He came new-born, infant and limitless
And
\ngrew in the wisdom of the timeless Child;
He was a vast that soon
\nbecame a Sun. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAs he enters this
\nluminous and dynamic Kingdom of the Spirit, Aswapathy feels a new
\nbirth in himself, as if he has just emerged from the womb of
\ninfinity. He arrives as an infant without limits, grows in the wisdom
\nof the child of the eternal and extending vast, soon becomes a
\nveritable Sun of blazing Light.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>

<\/FONT><\/FONT>His
\nThought and Feeling in all<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nA great luminous
\nsilence whispered to his heart;
His knowledge an inview caught
\nunfathomable,
An outview by no brief horizons cut:
He thought
\nand felt in all, his gaze had power. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHis heart is in
\ncommunion with a great luminous Silence. His knowledge turning
\ninwards grasps what is unfathomable by mental knowings, turning
\noutwards it extends wide in an unending vista. In his thinking and
\nfeeling he is identified with all. His gaze is charged with power.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>

\n<\/P>
\n


\nHe communed with the
\nIncommunicable;
Beings of a wider consciousness were his friends,
\n
Forms of a larger subtler make drew near;
The Gods conversed
\nwith him behind Life\u2019s veil. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHe communes with
\nwhat is normally Incommunicable. Beings of a consciousness larger
\nthan his become his friends. Subtler and larger forms draw close to
\nhim. From behind the veil of Life, even the Gods begin to talk to
\nhim.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>

\nNeighbour his being
\ngrew to Nature\u2019s crests. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nThe primal Energy
\ntook him in its arms;
His brain was wrapped in overwhelming
\nLight,
An all-embracing knowledge seized his heart:
Thoughts
\nrose in him no earthly mind can hold,
Mights played that never
\ncoursed through mortal nerves:
He scanned the secrets of the
\nOvermind,
He bore the rapture of the Oversoul. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nHis being grows to
\nreach the peaks of Nature.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nThe great original
\nEnergy takes hold of him; his brain is invaded and covered with an
\noverpowering Light; his heart is pervaded by an all-embracing
\nKnowledge. Thoughts beyond the range of the human mind arise in him;
\nintensities that could never be borne by human nerves begin to course
\nin him.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAswapathy is in the
\nregions of the overmind and scans its mysteries. He bears the bliss
\nof the Soul which presides over All.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>

\nLinks Creation to Eternal’s Sphere<\/B><\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/FONT><\/FONT>
\n<\/P>
\n


\nA borderer of the
\nempire of the Sun,
Attuned to the supernal harmonies,
He
\nlinked creation to the Eternal\u2019s sphere,
His finite parts
\napproached their absolutes,
His actions framed the movements of
\nthe Gods,
His will took up the reins of cosmic Force. <\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
\n


\nAswapathy is on the
\nborders of the kingdom of the Supramental Truth-Sun. He is in tune
\nwith celestial harmonies and hence is able to link the creation in
\nTime with the realm of the Eternal. His own finite parts near the
\nzenith of their growth. His actions embody the movements of the Gods.
\nHis will assumes control of the cosmic Force.<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/P>
