Part Xi. The Self

"The Secret Rose Garden", by Florence Lederer, [1920],

p. 76

Part Xi

The Self

The Gamble Of The Self

Real prayer can only be yours

When you have staked and gambled yourself away

And your essence is pure.

Then "a joy of the eyes" are your prayers

And no separation remains,

For knower and known are one and the same.

Transcend Self

Rise above time and space,

Pass by the world, and be to yourself your own world.

p. 77

Selflessness

In the empty heart, void of self

Can be heard the echoing cry,

"I am the Truth."

Thus is man one with the Eternal,

Travelling, travel and traveller have become one.
