Daily Signet

Remain for a year, a cycle of time, O Kausalya
And then from your great love of Brahman
Will come your quest for life everlasting.
Remain a year, a cycle of time,
And when the time comes
We will sepak of the Breath of life as it lives in the eye and the ear,
The nose and the mouth.
And how Breath sustains and enthuses: en-joys the fiery rose of the heart
With its seven hundred million petals of life.
That where there is joy there is life
And where there is life there is the breath.
And then you will know that spirit infuses what is imagined
That he who breathes deeply knows the rising of life
En-joy and one enjoys life eternal,
Know that what is deserved is what is desired
And you will know life everlasting
With no lack of offspring
They will be as the stars
For in fivefold division lies the world’s chance to be.
