PART III - MENTAL REGIME

“What Seest Thou”

The gracious light, in semi-sphere Created by the living soul, Encompasses the vision's whole Of worlds afar and atoms near.

The vault of heaven, gemmed and deep, And earth and sea o'erwhelmed in light, Full complements of thought invite That soul may all its empire keep.

And so the world within the flesh The larger gains, and grows apace To Truth's ideal and Beauty's grace With understanding ever fresh.

Yet must the Wider Life emerge Within the le sser, welling up, If living spirit's wine-filled cup Reflect the Drama's drift and urge.

What seest thou? Thy self alone; Thou art the world and all its parts. And this is being's Art of Arts' To know the faster Life thine own.
