“O thou who art the single one of Japan and the unique…” |
That country hath been deprived of the divine breath
until this time; now, God be praised! thou art initiated
561
in the mysteries and conscious of the secrets of the
lights.
|
Thou hast been earthly, I hope that thou wilt become
heavenly; thou hast been gloomy, I desire that thou
wilt become luminous. Thou wert wandering in the
wilderness, thou hast found a way to the abode of the
Beloved One; thou wert a thirsty fish, thou hast attained
to the endless Ocean; thou wert a roving bird,
thou hast reached the divine Rose-garden; thou wert
spiritually sick and thou hast found real health!
|
Now is the time that thou shouldest entirely abandon
the comfort, ease, enjoyment and the life of this transient
world, and wholly arise to guide the people of
Japan, illuminating faces, perfuming nostrils and conquering,
through the heavenly hosts and divine reinforcements,
the hearts of the people of that region.
