When you close your eyes

 

Attention turns toward the inner glow.

The heart sees by its own light,

Pulsing with subtle flame.

In your forehead is a single eye.

Here streams of living electricity

Flow together.

The body of substance

And the body of light fuse into one.

Above your head a star is shining—

The soul, luminous in its own realm.

Life arises from itself In a swirling motion of flame. Being becomes body.

In meditation, adore the subtle fire—

In heart, head, and above.

Dissolve into radiance.
