\nA HYMN OF THE THOUGHT GODS<\/b><\/font>
\n<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nBased on V.52-58<\/b><\/font>
\n<\/font><\/b><\/p>\n

\n    The shining host has arisen in my soul, the host of the
\nThought-gods and, they sing a hymn as they march upward,
\na hymn of the heart’s illumination. March thou on, O my
\nsoul, impetuously to their violent and mighty music. For they
\nare drunken with the joy of an inspiration that betrays not
\nto falsehood, because the truth of eternal Nature is its guide.
\nThey are the comrades of a firm and blazing Light and in the force of the Light
\nthey work out their lofty aggressions; conquerors, violently they march on their path, self-protecting they
\nguard of themselves the soul against falsehood; for they are many
\nand march without a gap in their brilliant ranks. Violent are they
\nas a herd of rushing bulls; the nights come against them, but
\nthey overleap the nights; they possess the earth in our thoughts
\nand they rise with them to the heavens. No half-lights, no impotent things are they, but mighty in aggression and puissant to
\nattain. Spears of light they hold and they loose them from their
\nhands at the children of Darkness; the flashing lightnings of the
\nThought-gods search the night and the light of heaven rises of
\nitself on our souls at their battle-call. Truth is their shining
\nstrength; the hosts of the Thought-gods are the artificers of the
\nsoul and they fashion its immortality; themselves they yoke
\ntheir coursers to the chariot of our life and they drive galloping
\nto the joy that is its goal.<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

\nThey have bathed their limbs in the waters of Parushni,
\nin the stream that has a multitude of currents, they have put on
\ntheir divine raiment and now with the wheels of their chariots
\nthey break open all Nature’s secret caves. Sometimes they march
\non a thousand branching paths, sometimes they rush direct at
\ntheir goal; sometimes their paths are within, sometimes they
\nfollow outward Nature’s thousand ways; the world-sacrifice
\nfulfils itself by the many names of their godhead and by their
\never-widening march. Now they make themselves as galloping
\nforces of our life, now they are gods and powers of the soul; at<\/font>

\nlast they put on forms of a supreme world, forms of vision, forms
\nof light. They have attained to the goal, they support the rhythms
\nof the world, chanting they weave their glorious dance round the
\nvery fountain of things; they are creators of supreme forms, they
\nexpand the soul in vision and make it a divine blaze of light. For these are
\nrushing seekers of the Truth; for the Truth their lightnings stab and search;
\nthey are seers, they are creators and ordainers; their aggressions are inspired by the might and force of
\nheaven, therefore affirmed in our thoughts they speed carrying
\nus confidently on their way. When the mind is full of them, it is
\nborne on towards godhead, for they have the radiant inspiration
\nof the path.<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

\nWho has known the place of their birth or who has sat in
\ntheir high beatitudes ? Who desires and seeks his Friend beyond?
\nA Mother bore them many-hued in her soul and of her they tell
\nhim; a Violent One was their Father whose impulse drives all
\nbeings that are born, and him they reveal. Seven and seven the
\nThought-gods came to me and seven times they gave a hundred-fold ; in Yamuna I will bathe the shining herds of my thoughts
\nwhich they have given, I will purify my swiftnesses in the river of
\nmy soul.<\/font> <\/font><\/p>\n

\nLo, they march on in their cohorts and their companies;<\/font>
\n<\/font>let us follow in their steps with the pace of our thinkings. For
\nthey bear with them an imperishable seed of creation and the
\ngrain of immortal forms and this if they plant in the fields of the soul, there
\nshall grow as its harvest life universal and bliss transcendent. They will put by all that derides our aspiration and pass
\nbeyond all that limits us; they will destroy all fault and dumbness
\nand the soul’s poverties. For theirs is the rain of the abundance
\nof heaven and theirs the storms that set flowing the rivers of life;<\/font>
\n<\/font>their thunders are the chant of the hymn of the gods and the
\nproclamations of the Truth. They are the eye that leads us on a
\nhappy path and he who follows them shall not stumble, nor have pain nor hurt,
\nnor decay nor die; their plenitudes are not destroyed nor their felicities diminished; they make of man a seer
\nand a king. Their vastness is the blazing of a divine Sun; they
\nshall place us in the seats of Immortality.<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

\nOf all that was of old and of all that is new, of all that rises<\/font>

\nfrom the soul and all that seeks expression they are the impellers.
\nThey stand in the upper and the lower and the middle heaven;<\/font>
\n<\/font>they have descended from the highest supreme. They are born of
\nthe Truth; they are luminous leaders of the mind; they shall
\ndrink the sweet wine of delight and give us the supreme inspirations. The Woman, the Divine is with them who shall put away
\nfrom us hurt and thirst and desire and refashion man’s mind in
\nthe form of the godhead. Lo, these are knowers of the Truth,
\nseers whom the Truth inspires, vast in expression, vast in diffusion, young for ever and immortal.<\/font>
