Prayer to the Mother for Purification

Cleanse from me Mother the sediment within,

Thy love in streams of grace ever flowing

May I feel thee in the rising of the day,

Remember thee when the sun is in the glowing.

Peel away the mask that I have built

In this frail attempt to seem unique and bold

Purify a heart that beats for thee,

Break the rigid strictures of this mould.

Still the busy rambling mind to peace,

May all my thoughts thy image apprehend

The body obeisant open to thy force,

To the advancing Truth my soul attend.

Though the hour is close the body of darkness rears,

Its falsehood dying as the god-light nears.
