QUALITIES OF THE HEART [a poem]

When we talk about Heart-qualities

We are actually talking Soul-qualities
For the soul is anchored in the heart
While the brain learns to play its part

The wisdom and knowledge of the heart

Is the soul’s reservoir that will make us smart
Through the direction of psychic energy
Poison is replaced by treasure, cleverly

Courage is born of a pure heart

Where it dwells in the womb of the heart
In the Fiery World we need to walk fearlessly
Thus the need down here to fight evil endlessly

When only good thoughts can be chosen

It means the gates of Beneficence are open  
As the recipient of the earthly poison
Where prana pacifies the flow of poison

True solemnity is built in the highest tension

Bringing our progress to our attention 
Through solemnity salvation can be attained
But it must be absorbed and maintained

We have a love that holds us in the mire

And a love that can inspire
The one is earthy
And the other heavenly

The abode of spirit is beautiful

So we can build by using only the beautiful
In the heart we will always find the spark
That we need to kindle the light in the dark

For success, extreme tension is needed

But in action the limit must not be exceeded
For the heart to stay the transmuter of energies
The main accumulator of our memories

Thus we need to develop all these heart qualities

For our future intercourse with higher energies
For without them we will be blind
And just be left behind
