Soul in the Ignorance

Soul in the Ignorance, wake from its stupor.

Flake of the world-fire, spark of Divinity,

Lift up thy mind and thy heart into glory.

Sun in the darkness, recover thy lustre.

One, universal, ensphering creation,

Wheeling no more with inconscient Nature,

Feel thyself God-born, know thyself deathless.

Timeless return to thy immortal existence.
