Homage to the Avatar

All is sacred to the seeing soul

And equal in the vision of the seer,

The darkness no less perfect than the light

For dark is light to one who draws all near.

Division and duality rejoined

By Him who knows the unity behind

And labours silently the world to save

Humanity its deeper truth to find.

A Being of His origin aware,

The Avatar whose healing grace is sown

Among the wise and those in spirit poor

And in the fields of hatred overgrown.

Descending here into a world of pain

Compassionate absorbs our grief and lust,

Transmuting all by power and the Word,

He who fashions Godhead from the dust.

He comes in sacrifice that Man may live,

By His holocaust all differences shall heal,

Divine in human form God's grace bestows

And stamps on earth His signature and seal.
