The
Will to Love is the Law to Live
“Imagination is the only way we can veil human
ignorance
And imagination is the only way we can cream better.
When the mind is inert it is asleep or unconscious;
When alive with imagination, it can achieve anything.
Imagination can explode into the far depths of space,
Or it can be imploded to condense within ourselves.
Out or in, no time or distance can restrict or limit
it. I
magination made the energy to create many universes
And can also be the great dynamic power to destroy
them.
Imagination is the energy of Yoga-Magick ready to use.
When you desire it, it will come and saturate your
mind
But when dull or sleepy it will evaporate away.
Our fantasy can mould a new design,
The winged white horse imagination rides,
Then spreads its wings as energy explodes;
Matter and Spirit part as God divides.
The winged white wind horse rides eternity;
A new star now does burn beyond the sun;
Somewhere a Yogi has the Weirdglow won
And all his earthly chores have now been done.
India has a wonderful record for ways of spiritual
mode/method,
Yet, in recent decades, the hush has become so
unbearable,
And the Light of Wisdom vanishes beneath technological
crust
And even the priests of the sanctum become political
predators.
But Yoga's crepuscule cosmopolitan character is truly
cosmic
And now it has spread to germinate in many other
lands;
For this is how the Lords of Light always wished it to
be.
For the Law of the Cosmos has devised that the Natha
Sadhus
And the Lords of AMOOKOS,
Be the highest attained and the Gurus of Twilight
Yoga.
Thus the esoteric Magick of our Pagan Kingdom will
endure.
Yoga must ever retain the fabulous fantasy of our
Magick World;
Developing the Power of Will and Wonder of the
Imagination.
If we ever sink into the routine trivia, the boredom
sleep,
We have then retreated into the darkness of ignorance.
Magick, Imagination, Fantasy and even most bizarre
patterns
Spring only from the abstract heights of human
intelligence.
You cannot be told how to do this; it must come from
within.
Sometimes you must create your own environment
phantasmagoria
Sensational robes, nakedness, decor, delight, dark or
colour.
Nonsense names, amphigory, hyperbole, rainbow
rhetoric.
An extravaganza of imaginative patterns fit for the
divine.
In ludicrous life and in civilization which is a
conspiracy
Our Quaint Quantum of Quality explodes the Giant
Quasars
For the Sorcery of the Eternal Enchanter is
Unlimitable.
Those entering a New Aeon must develop five new
senses.
For the Yogi who has imbibed the Delightful Nectar of
God
Enjoys Immortality;, no other drink can ever taste so
good.
Now our brightest star develops into
Insight-Intuition,
While Awareness and Wonder sparkles with New Thinking
And the Guardian Spirit is much nearer than before.
We are timed with surprise, why we did not see sooner
Or why we had forgotten the Nectar of Immortality!
This is our Magick Circle and Gateway to the
Universes,
Make it as lovely as fantasy and imagination can.
You are entering a Magick Kingdom where anything is
possible
Yet there will ever remain things hidden from lesser
mankind,
For if Siddhis and Magick Powers were gifted to the
bad
Harm they may do will recoil on the donor who gave
them.
Yoga propounds no rules of sex abnegation; food fads
are absent,
But Yoga is always based on a path of intelligent
moderation.
Not eating sufficient can be just as bad as eating too
much.
Simple life does not mean the denial of modern
invention,
Medicine or other facilities which are useful or
needed.
Simple life does not mean wearing skins or living in
caves.
Our ancestors did this only because of want of know
how.
Some things are basic needs, others are only useless
wants,
The Yogi knows the difference and shows
discrimination.
The Yogi seeks the Equipoise between the Opposites of
Life.
Those who seek neither night or day love the twilight.
Between happiness or sorrow our world is unperturbed.
Neutrality is our stand in conflicting ways and
events.
Weep not for the sorrow scene or become lost in its
pleasures.
It is only a fool who lights a match to better see the
sun.
Equipoise in success or failure is the hall-mark of
Yoga.
When the dark of night vanishes in the light of
sunrise glow,
Cosmic space vanishes and we become separated from it
by day;
Then when sunset time comes and the auspicious
twilight begins
We see again the vast cosmos and its living orbs of
light
And the vast dark canopy on which they glow and
sparkle.
Thus these two twilight periods are special for all
Yogis
As the times when meditation and contemplation are
best,
For this reason, we call our Numinous Path Twilight
Yoga.
Shakti, the Goddess Lalita, creates the millions of
universes;
Shiva protects them; while Kali makes to destroy them;
But the Natha, as Guru, liberates all manifold living
forms.
Equipoise, Dynamism, Inertia; Three Gunas are our
play.
The Veil of Maya obscures and obstructs our human life
But it cannot forever hide the Yoga Way of Liberation.
God is limited by Ignorance but exalted by our Wisdom
Yogis remain aloof, unlimited by activity or
non-activity.
Yoga is the ever brilliant flame for everyone in
bondage;
A celestial fire which may, one day, liberate mankind.
For those who follow the Yogi develop his
luminescence.
There is no philosophy, only
Illumination-Mind-Expansion.”
Shri Gurudev Mahendranath Paramahams (www.clas.ufl.edu)
