> The Guardian teaches about willing, feeling, thinking: > Feel how the depths of earth > Sends its forces to your being, > Surging in through body parts. > You'll lose yourself in them, > If powerless you entrust > Your willing to their striving; > They’ll overshadow in you the I. > Feel how from world’s expanse > The powers of gods their spirit clarity > Sets your inner soul aglow. > Find yourself in them with love, > And they’ll make, wisdom weaving, > You as someone in their midst, > Strong in virtuous spirit works. > Feel how in heaven's heights > Selfhood selflessly can live, > If spirit-imbued power of thought > With highest striving will align > And in fortitude takes up the word, > That from on high resounds in grace > In mankind’s true enduring being.
