Agni Yoga on Mother of the World (from "On the Eastern Crossroads")
Mother of the World
The Mother of the World hides Her Face.
The Mother of the World veils Her Face. The Mother of the Lords is not a symbol but a Great Manifestation of the Feminine Origin in which is revealed the spiritual Mother of Christ and Buddha—She Who taught and ordained Them to achievement.
From times immemorial the Mother ordained achievement. Through the history of humanity Her Hand traces the unbreakable thread. Her voice rang out on Sinai. She assumed the image of Kali. Seek Her behind Isis and Ishtar.
After Atlantis, when Lucifer flung his blow at the cult of spirit, the Mother of the World began a new thread.
After Atlantis the Mother of the World veiled Her Image and forbade the pronunciation of Her Name until the Hour of the Constellations would strike.
THE EFFULGENCE OF THE MOTHER OF THE WORLD
THE purple aura of the Mother of the World bathes us.
Who shall not bow? Who shall dare against Her?
Among the predestined treasures are guarded her lustrous adornments. The Teaching of Her glows as a purple Lotus.
Let the pain of the center of the solar plexus be linked with Her Days.
Let the new coils of the Serpent unfurl during Her Days. Let the trumpets of air herald Her Time.
Mother of the World, pass over the desert, because the flowers are behind Thee! Mother of the World, look upon the Mountains, because they glow with Thy Fire!
Departed are the despicable ones. The hordes are rising.
New miracles. New bearers. And above the destruction of the walls rises the voice, "Mother approaches! "
Mother of Buddha! Mother of Christ! Inspire Thy Sons!
Even though a rock fall upon me, yet shall I know that it comes from Thy Steps.
Thus shall we flood the space.
AND above all spoken commands rings out the Silent Command—All-penetrating, Immutable, Indivisible, Irrevocable, Effulgent, All-Bestowing, Unutterable, Unrepeatable, Invulnerable, Inexpressible, Timeless, Undeferrable, Illuminating, Manifest in Lightning.
Here are two Commands—at the limits of the World are the Lords Christ and Buddha. And Their Word is as a Flaming Sword. But above them is manifest a Silent Command.
Above Them is She Who veiled Her Face, She Who wove the Web of the far-off worlds, She the Envoy of the Unutterable, the Ruler of the Intangible, the Bestower of the Unrepeatable.
By Thy Command is the Ocean Silenced and the whirlwinds trace the invisible signs.
And She Who Veiled Her Face shall stand Alone in Vigil, amid the Splendor of Her Signs.
And none shall mount the Summit. None shall witness the Effulgence of the Dodecahedron, the Sign of Her Power.
Out of the spiral of Light, She herself has woven the Sign in Silence. She, the Guide of those who go towards attainment!
The four squares of the sign of affirmation are bestowed by Her upon those who determined to achieve.
THE PLAY OF THE MOTHER OF THE WORLD
How great is the play of the Mother of the World!
She beckons to her children from far-distant fields: "Hasten, children! I wish to teach you. I have keen eyes and alert ears ready for you.
"Sit ye down upon My garment. Let us learn to soar !"
THE FIERY SHIELD
The Mother of the World has proclaimed:
"Winds, gather ye! Snows, gather ye! Birds, hold ye back! Beasts, stand ye back!
"No human foot shall set its traces on My Summit! The audacity of the dark ones shall not surmount! The light of the moon shall not endure! But the sun-ray shall touch the peak. Sun, guard My Summit! For where shall I keep My Vigil?"
Never shall beast ascend. Nor shall human power endure. Herself, the Mother of all Being, shall keep Her Vigil, with a fiery shield.
What glows upon the Summit? Why have the whirlwinds assembled a resplendent crown? She, the Great Mother, alone ascended the Summit. And none shall follow Her.
THE FIERY VEIL
UPON the highest summit, sands effulgent the Mother of the World.
She came forth to smite the darkness.
Why are the enemies fallen? And whither do they turn their eyes in desperation?
She has cloaked Herself in a fiery mantle and encircled Herself in a fiery wall.
She is our Citadel and our Striving.
