ever grow,

      And passing through a fruitful stage of death

      And after long reconstituting sleep

      Resume their place in the process of the Gods

      Until their work in cosmic Time is done.

      Here was the fashioning chamber of the worlds.

      An interval was left twixt act and act,

      Twixt birth and birth, twixt dream and waking dream,

      A pause that gave new strength to do and be.

      Beyond were regions of delight and peace,

      Mute birthplaces of light and hope and love,

      And cradles of heavenly rapture and repose.

      In a slumber of the voices of the world

      He of the eternal moment grew aware;

      His knowledge stripped bare of the garbs of sense

      Knew by identity without thought or word;

      His being saw itself without its veils,

      Life’s line fell from the spirit’s infinity.

      Along a road of pure interior light,

      Alone between tremendous Presences,

      Under the watching eyes of nameless Gods,

      His soul passed on, a single conscious power,

      Towards the end which ever begins again,

      Approaching through a stillness dumb and calm

      To the source of all things human and divine.

      There he beheld in their mighty union’s poise

      The figure of the deathless Two-in-One,

      A single being in two bodies clasped,

      A diarchy of two united souls,

      Seated absorbed in deep creative joy;

      Their trance of bliss sustained the mobile world.

      Behind them in a morning dusk One stood

      Who brought them forth from the Unknowable.

      Ever disguised she awaits the seeking spirit;

      Watcher on the supreme unreachable peaks,

      Guide of the traveller of the unseen paths,

      She guards the austere approach to the Alone.

      At the beginning of each far-spread plane

      Pervading with her power the cosmic suns

      She reigns, inspirer of its multiple works

      And thinker of the symbol of its scene.

      Above them all she stands supporting all,

      The sole omnipotent Goddess ever-veiled

      Of whom the world is the inscrutable mask;

      The ages are the footfalls of her tread,

      Their happenings the figure of her thoughts,

      And all creation is her endless act.

      His spirit was made a vessel of her force;

      Mute in the fathomless passion of his will

      He outstretched to her his folded hands of prayer.

      Then in a sovereign answer to his heart

      A gesture came as of worlds thrown away,

      And from her raiment’s lustrous mystery raised

      One arm half-parted the eternal veil.

      A light appeared still and imperishable.

      Attracted to the large and luminous depths

      Of the ravishing enigma of her eyes,

      He saw the mystic outline of a face.

      Overwhelmed by her implacable light and bliss,

      An atom of her illimitable self

      Mastered by the honey and lightning of her power,

      Tossed towards the shores of her ocean-ecstasy,

      Drunk with a deep golden spiritual wine,

      He cast from the rent stillness of his soul

      A cry of adoration and desire

      And the surrender of his boundless mind

      And the self-giving of his silent heart.

      He fell down at her feet unconscious, prone.

      End of Canto Fourteen

      Canto Fifteen

      The Kingdoms of the Greater Knowledge

      After a measureless moment of the soul

      Again returning to these surface fields

      Out of the timeless depths where he had sunk,

      He heard once more the slow tread of the hours.

      All once perceived and lived was far away;

      Himself was to himself his only scene.

      Above the Witness and his universe

      He stood in a realm of boundless silences

      Awaiting the Voice that spoke and built the worlds.

      A light was round him wide and absolute,

      A diamond purity of eternal sight;

      A consciousness lay still, devoid of forms,

      Free, wordless, uncoerced by sign or rule,

      For ever content with only being and bliss;

      A sheer existence lived in its own peace

      On the single spirit’s bare and infinite ground.

      Out of the sphere of Mind he had arisen,

      He had left the reign of Nature’s
