Said the Master to
the Ascending soul, |
|
|
|
Where is it you are
going, Young Spirit? |
|
|
|
|
From whence I
came, Master. |
|
|
|
By what way do you
travel, Young Spirit? |
|
|
|
|
By the motion of
mind, Master. |
|
|
|
How did you find this
way, Young Spirit? |
|
|
|
|
By remembering,
Master. |
|
|
|
Did not all your
predecessors come by the way, Young Spirit? |
|
|
|
|
Yes, Master. |
|
|
|
How is it that you
have not uttered the name of even one of these, Spirit? |
|
|
|
|
True: these
have preceded me in the illusion, Master, but my eyes and ears
desired such before first acquaintance. |
|
|
|
Have you found the
way alone then, Spirit? |
|
|
|
|
No one sets the
way for the perfect master, but himself Master, and now, I being
that essence must no longer be detained lest I miss my calling. |
|
|
|
Where will you
ascend, Teacher? |
|
|
|
|
To the source of
wisdom, Master. |
|
|
|
Shall you return,
Teacher? |
|
|
|
|
I have done so in
memory, Master, and now I will. |
|
|
|
What is your new
name, Teacher of Masters? |
|
|
|
|
"I am",
said Understanding! |
