Eternal and Universal
Fountain of Love, Wisdom and Happiness; Nature is the book in which Thy character is written, and no one can read it unless
he has been in Thy school. Therefore our (or my) eyes are directed upon thee as the eyes of the servants are directed upon
the hands of the masters and mistresses, from whom they receive their gifts.
Oh Thou Lord of Kings, who should not praise
thee unceasingly, and forever with his whole heart? For everything in the universe comes from Thee, out of Thee, belongs to
Thee and must again return to Thee. Everything that exists will ultimately re-enter Thy Love or Thy Anger, Thy Light or Thy
Fire, and everything, whether good or evil, must serve to thy glorification.
Thou alone art the Lord, for Thy Will is the
fountain of all powers that exist in the universe; none can escape Thee. Thou art the King of the World; Thy residence is
in Heaven and in the sanctuary of the heart of the virtuous.
Universal God, One Life, One Light, One Power, Thou All in All, beyond expression and beyond conception. On Nature!
Thou something from nothing, thou symbol of Wisdom! In myself I am nothing, in Thee I am I. I live in Thine I made of nothing; live
thou in me and bring me out of the region of self into the Eternal Light!
