The chant of the awakened heart
Speaks a tongue
Of certain Knowing:
The Great Work
Knowing Ultimate Reality
And its nectar
From the True Seat
Of Being;
Immortal Self-Awareness
That is the Opus Magnum
Of life
Awareness knowing peace
And perfection
Free from the yoke
Of illusion
Transcending
The world’s suffering
And death
That is but a curriculum
And a dream
The True Self transcending all;
Yet, loving all
With unconditional love
And simplicity
For impartiality casts no stones
All That Is –
Is your Self
The Awareness
Of the Absolute
And your Self
As the Absolute
Making all transparent
Giving the peace that surpasses
All the arguments
Of the world
For nothing is ever more
Or less divine
Than this moment
Nothing is ever more prefect
Than now
Nor is there ever more heaven
Or hell
As this moment
Letting go of the dreams
Of yesterday and tomorrow
For all that is clear
And sweet
The gratitude of the heart
For the wonder
Of our once forgotten Being
