Prayer-demand to reach the One Highway of Realization. |
O Beacon of Light and Flower of Fragrance, awaken our senses!
Even as the "Hound of Heaven", let us scent the
right bypath which leads quickly to the One highway of realization
and straight to Thee.
O Thou Unfailing Beacon of Light, point Thy Finger of illumination
across the darkness of our ignorancethat we may find the
right way, without being sidetracked and without unnecessary
delay.
No matter which bypath of formal worship we may follow, guide
us at last to the highway of common intuition, which leads to
Thee.
Above narrow lanes of bigotry and unyielding walls of prejudices,
let our souls travel safely in Thy plane of upliftment. And let
us meet, at last, for universal worship, in Thy temple of free
skies (that cannot be walled in by man-made, man-interpreted,
man-prescribed beliefs and limitations), where we may chant to
Thine omnipresence all the sacred hymns of our hearts!
Teach us the scientific technique of salvation, and the spiritual
technique of realization, the light-born child of mother-science.
Even as in this age of physical flight, we may guide our steel-bird
planes safely through fog and night-darkness, by following the
electric finger of light sent from tower to tower, in man-directed
course from city to city, state to state, and country to country.
O! Thou Beacon of Light! Send Thy guiding ray of sweet-scented
brightness of knowledge across the darkness of our ignorance;
so that we may safely and quickly find our spiritual way from
landing-place to landing-place, incarnation to incarnation.
And O! Flower of Fragrance! Send Thy breath of love to cheer us
always, as we climb the spheres of realization, on our way to
Thee: that we may dream of Thy skiey garden, and speed our souls'
journey, in our unquenchable thirst for Thee.
