THE HEART AND THE ANTAHKARANA [a poem]

The silver thread that links the disciple

With the Teacher or archetypal 
Is the great magnet of the heart
Thus the disciple must harken the heart

For when we need a guide in times of pain

The heart is the anchor for this chain
That must hold through all the trials
And lead us to the end with smiles

The thread of the heart retains

The consciousness of all the planes
And only when it is completely drawn
Will the understanding of patience dawn

Guard the heart to protect the silver cord

For beyond the heart’s thread there is no Lord
Strengthen the thread through your thoughts
By eradicating the appearance of unfit thoughts

The thread is strained by the power of endeavouring

So let’s not burn the thread through faltering
The tread will not break when strained
For only by this way is knowledge gained

Solemn love will lead through the veil

While common love will not prevail
So learn to understand the solemnity of love
If you want to migrate to the worlds above

Our Solar System is made of, and by love

And are being held together by love
If we study solemn Love, we study God
If we express solemn love, we express God.

Life must advance along the channel of the heart

While knowledge of fundamental laws play its part
Only right use of the thread leads to transfiguration
From physical existence to supple manifestation

The light of the heart is the transformation of life

That shall leads to a more abounded life
If we follow the heart and learn to express mateship
Then right use of the thread will lead to ADEPTSHIP
