Opening Remarks
The Divine Mother is upon earth. She has brought with her the gifts of Grace and the promise of the Future.
A new epiphany
As from the soil sprang glory of branch and flower,
As from the animal’s life rose thinking man,
A new epiphany appeared in her.
Even as the plant life appeared from apparently lifeless matter, even as the thinking man arose out of the dumb animal, so too a new revelation, the vision of a greater glory, a new possibility appeared in the incarnate Divine Mother.
A New divine possibility for earth
A mind of light, a life of rhythmic force,
A body instinct with hidden divinity
Prepared an image of the coming god;
And when the slow rhyme of the expanding years
And the rich murmurous swarm-work of the days
Had honey-packed her sense and filled her limbs,
Accomplishing the moon-orb of her grace,
Self-guarded in the silence of her strength
Her solitary greatness was not less.
Though born in a human form and in a human way, a new diviner possibility appeared in her. Her mind was not a mind of ignorance struggling towards the Light but a Mind of Light fundamentally free from Ignorance. The force of life within her moved in rhythmic strains. Her very body had the intuition of divinity within it. All reflected the image of godlike being waiting to emerge. She grew with the passage of years into a greatness solitary and splendid filling her limbs and senses with unearthly sweetness, developing her personality to a fullness of light, yet guarded within her silent strength within.
Nearer the godhead pressed
Nearer the godhead to the surface pressed,
A sun replacing childhood’s nebula
Sovereign in a blue and lonely sky.
Slowly the divinity within her began to press closer to the surface and the vague hints of the splendour within grew into the sun in the sky of her mind as the sovereign Light.
Upward it rose
Upward it rose to grasp the human scene:
The strong Inhabitant turned to watch her field.
Arising from within, from her heart cave the Godhead climbed in the skies of the mind to watch the fields of nature and the human scene it inhabited.
Mysteried shrine
A lovelier light assumed her spirit brow
And sweet and solemn grew her musing gaze;
Celestial-human deep warm slumbrous fires
Woke in the long fringed glory of her eyes
Like altar-burnings in a mysteried shrine.
Her brow was shone with a mysterious light above and her gaze turned solemn and sweet. The fires hidden in our earthly human life woke in her eyes as burning inside upon an altar in a mysteried shrine of her heart.
Looked from light on transient things
Out of those crystal windows gleamed a will
That brought a large significance to life.
Holding her forehead’s candid stainless space
Behind the student arch a noble power
Of wisdom looked from light on transient things.
Her luminous gaze filled with a supreme will brought a new significance to life. Her forehead full of frankness and truth held within itself a great and noble power of wisdom that cast a look from her eyes upon transient things.
Closing Remarks
We see here a beautiful description of the embodied Divine Mother and her face divine and brilliant forehead and luminous powerful gaze.
