Yet Light is There, pp. 626-627

Opening remarks
Despite this dark state, Light is there and shows us the way. We have to heed it and follow the way.

A torch to lead
Yet Light is there; it stands at Nature’s doors:
It holds a torch to lead the traveller in.

Still there is the Light that leads standing at Nature’s door holding the torch of faith to lead the traveller soul.

Star lighting an ignorant sea
It waits to be kindled in our secret cells;
It is a star lighting an ignorant sea,
A lamp upon our poop piercing the night.

This Light can be kindled in our very cells. It is like a star lighting an ignorant sea as a lamp on a ship piercing the ocean night.

As knowledge grows
As knowledge grows Light flames up from within:
It is a shining warrior in the mind,
An eagle of dreams in the divining heart,
An armour in the fight, a bow of God.

As knowledge grows Light flames up from within. It shines as a warrior in the mind. It shows as intuitive dreams in the divining heart. It is an armour in the fight and a bow of God.

Larger dawns arrive
Then larger dawns arrive and Wisdom’s pomps
Cross through the being’s dim half-lighted fields;
Philosophy climbs up Thought’s cloud-bank peaks
And Science tears out Nature’s occult powers,
Enormous djinns who serve a dwarf’s small needs,
Exposes the sealed minutiae of her art
And conquers her by her own captive force.

As Light leaps and knowledge grows larger dawns arrive and Wisdom’s splendour crosses through our being’s half-lit fields of Nature. Philosophy climbs beyond the clouded peaks of Thought and Science discovers and snatches occult powers from the folds of Nature. Enormous djinns driven by engines built by Scientific knowledge serve the small dwarf ego’s needs.

Failing time
On heights unreached by mind’s most daring soar,
Upon a dangerous edge of failing Time
The soul draws back into its deathless Self;
Man’s knowledge becomes God’s supernal Ray.

On heights that the mind cannot dare to reach or soar, upon a dangerous edge where Time fails, the soul draws back into its deathless Self. Thence man’s knowledge becomes a supernal Ray of God’s shadowless Light.

Brilliant Void
There is the mystic realm whence leaps the power
Whose fire burns in the eyes of seer and sage;
A lightning flash of visionary sight,
It plays upon an inward verge of mind:
Thought silenced gazes into a brilliant Void.

There is a mystic realm from where power leaps that can be seen in the gaze of the seer and sage. Its flash of lightning that manifests in vision and sight. This light plays upon an inward verge of mind. When thought is silenced it gazes into a brilliant luminous Void.

Flaming call
A voice comes down from mystic unseen peaks:
A cry of splendour from a mouth of storm,
It is the voice that speaks to night’s profound,
It is the thunder and the flaming call.

A voice comes down from unseen mystic peaks. It is like a splendour bursting from a mouth of storm, the voice that speaks to the profound darkness. It is the thunder and the flaming call descending upon us from the peaks of God.

Closing Remarks
Even in this darkness there is a Light that leads and calls us to the heights.
