The Heart of the Master

III. This is the Harmony of the Universe, that Love unites the Will to create with the Understanding of that Creation: understand thou thine own Will! Love and let love! Rejoice in every shape of love, and get thy rapture and thy nourishment thereof! IV. Pour water on thyself: thus shalt thou be a Fountain to the Universe. Find thou thyself in every Star! Achieve thou every possibility! V. Offer thyself Virgin to the Knowledge and Conversation of thine Holy Guardian Angel! All else is a snare. Be thou athlete with the eight limbs of Yoga; for without these thou are not disciplined for any fight. VI. The Oracle of the Gods is the Child-Voice of Love in thine own Soul! hear thou it! Heed not the Siren-Voice of Sense, or the Phantom-Voice of Reason: rest in Simplicity, and listen to the Silence! VII. The issue of the Vulture, Two-in-One, conveyed; this is the chariot of Power. T R I N C : The last oracle! VIII. Balance against each thought its exact opposite! For the Marriage of these is the Annihilation of Illusion.
