Mother Earth and Her Son
O my Mother-Earth, my usefulness has ended."O my son, your ignorance has ended."
O my Mother-Earth, I have sung my swan song.
"O my son, but you have not sung God's Song and my song."
What are your songs?
"My song is aspiration and God's Song is inspiration. If you and I sing the song of aspiration, God will welcome us."
"If you and God sing the song of inspiration, I shall welcome both of you."
"When I welcome you and God, I know you will offer me your God, your Goal, and from God I shall also get you, His Soul."
"When God welcomes us, you and me, I shall give Him the breath of my existence and you will give Him the soul-flames of your liberation."
