> *O Ye!, from spheres of light stream through this head, > Move there in ways which spirits pure are led, > Damp well down his brain's insane confusion; > From his striving untangle all doubt's fire and fear, > To guide him within from pathways of illusion. > > In daily experience four goals are clear; > Now lead him on untouched by apprehension. > > First strive for countenance that fills with light, > Then spirit's quest for power hold fast. > Once lame-winged senses move again in flight, > His day in freedom can unfold. > Thus truest spirit duty it fulfils: > Through holy light to lead him where he wills*.
