I am time grown old Creating world destruction Set in motion To annihilate worlds Even without you All these warriors Arrayed in hostile ranks Will cease to exist Therefore, arise!
2.
Conquer your foes And fulfill your glory Be my instrument The archer at my side! O King The great lord of discipline The true majesty Of form and wondrous vision With countless eyes and mouths Everywhere is boundless divinity If a thousand suns Were to rise in the sky at once It would be like the light Of the Infinite Spirit You are to be known As supreme eternity The deepest treasure Of all that is The immutable guardian Of the enduring sacred duty I think that you are Man’s timeless spirit I see no beginning Middle or end in you Only boundless strength In your endless arms Your mouths of consuming flames Scorching this universe Your own brilliance… The primordial spirit of Man The deepest treasure of all that is If a thousand suns Were to rise in the sky at once It would be like the light Of the Infinite Spirit
3.
It is desire and anger Arising from nature’s quality of passion It is anger and desire... Voracious and evil Know it here as the enemy Voracious and evil! As fire is obscured by smoke And a mirror by dirt And as a seed is veiled by its caul... So too is knowledge obscured By the wise man’s eternal enemy Knowledge is obscured By the wise man’s eternal enemy Voracious and evil!
4.
Therefore, first restrain your senses Then kill this evil That ruins knowledge and judgment Kill this evil! Great warrior, kill thy enemy! Menacing you in form of desire Great warrior, kill thy enemy! The insatiable fire! Though myself unborn, undying I fashion nature Which is mine, and I come into being Through thine own magic Purified by the fire Many come into my presence As they seek refuge in me I reveal myself to them By the wise man’s eternal enemy... The insatiable fire!
5.
I shall teach you still And evermore Of the utmost knowledge one can know Knowing it… All have reached perfection Following the ways of the sacred duty In creation they are not reborn In dissolution they suffer no sorrow Untainted, luminous and without decay The infinite spirit My womb, the great infinite Within it I place a seed And from this Comes the origin of all The infinite spirit is the great womb Of all forms that come to be In all wombs I am the seed-giver! Untainted, luminous and without decay The infinite spirit Untainted, luminous and without decay The totality of action When the light of knowledge Shines in all the body’s senses Lucidity prevails Untainted and luminous Without decay! Men of vision see the agent of action Within nature’s qualities, When transcending… He enters my being Untainted and luminous!
6.
As the mountainous depths of the ocean Are unmoved when waters rush into it So too the man, is unmoved when desires enter him, Attaining a peace that eludes the man of sin I see you blazing through fiery eyes Hard to behold in the burning light Of fire and sun When it is night for all creatures A master of restraint is awake When he renounces all desires He finds peace This is the place of the Infinite Spirit Where one is freed from delusion Abide in it, even in death And find the calm of infinity I see you blazing through fiery eyes Hard to behold in the burning light Of fire and sun Focus your mind on me Then you will dwell within me Without doubt At the immutable summit of existence For I penetrate the earth And sustain all with my strength For I am the universal fire I work with the flow of the vital breath To digest that which man consumes I see you blazing through fiery eyes Hard to behold in the burning light Of fire and sun
7.
One should remember Man’s spirit as the guide The primordial poet Smaller than a grain of sand Granter of all things In form inconceivable The colour of the sun Beyond darkness Armed with devotion And the strength of discipline Focusing the vital breath Between the brows One attains the supreme Divine spirit of Man The colour of the sun Beyond darkness Invoking the infinite spirit As the one eternal syllable... ॐ OM ॐ The Primordial Poet! Reaching me, men of Great Spirit Do not undergo rebirth The ephemeral realm of suffering They attain absolute perfection The colour of the sun Beyond darkness Armed with devotion And the strength of discipline Focusing the vital breath Between the brows One attains the supreme Divine spirit of Man
8.
Freed from the sorrows of birth and death Achieving everlasting life I am the foundation Immortal and absolute The basis of sacred duty and of perfect joy Mired in this view and lost to themselves They say that this world has no truth With their meagre knowledge They contrive abysmal deeds To destroy the world! Bound by a hundred fetters of hope Obsessed by anger They hoard their wealth To satisfy their desire Drunk with hypocrisy They act with impure vows To destroy the world! These hateful, cruel and vile Men of misfortune I cast them into demonic wombs Through cycles of rebirth I shall sacrifice and rejoice! These men deluded by ignorance Confused by endless thoughts Caught in a net of delusion They fall into hell’s foul abyss I shall sacrifice and rejoice! I have killed that enemy! And I shall kill many more Since I transcend what is transient I am the supreme spirit of man Against my will, I must do What desire makes me refuse I want to know The real essence Free from desire and Born with the divine Light of knowledge!
