WHEN I GO from hence let this be my parting word, that what I have seen is unsurpassable. I have tasted of the hidden honey of this lotus that expands on the ocean of light, and thus am I blessed-let this be my parting word. In this playhouse of infinite forms I have had my play and here have I caught sight of him that is formless. My whole body and my limbs have thrilled with his touch who is beyond touch; and if the end comes here, let it come-let this be my parting word.
THOU HAST given us to live. Let us uphold this honour with all our strength and will; For thy glory rests upon the glory that we are. Therefore in thy name we oppose the power that would plant its banner upon our soul. Let us know that thy light grows dim in the heart that bears its insult of bondage. That the life, when it becomes feeble, timidly yields thy throne to untruth. For weakness is the traitor who betrays our soul. Let this be our prayer to thee Give us power to resist pleasure where it enslaves us. To lift our sorrow up to thee as the summer holds its midday sun. Make us strong that our worship may flower in love, and bear fruit in work. Make us strong that we may not insult the weak and the fallen, That we may hold our love high where all things around us are wooing the dust. They fight and kill for self-love, giving it thy name. They fight for hunger that thrives on brothers' flesh, They fight against thine anger and die. But let us stand firm and suffer with strength for the True, for the Good, for the Eternal in man, for thy Kingdom which is in the union of hearts, for the freedom which is of the Soul.
