thirst for this life-giving Nectar, and well might the Guru
sing:-
Surnar mun-lan amrit khoJde, so arnrit gu"
te paeya.
Angels, as also all angelic souls,
And the .el f- controlling saints
Verily thirst for this ambrosia!
All their life they are a-tiptoe
For this life-giving Nectar,-
Yea the nect.ar that I obtained from my Master!!
As yes! I obtained one Day from the lotus-feet o[ my
Master this holy Nectar, by licking His sacred feet. I
licked and licked in one long draugh t , unending draught,
for he who knew this Secret for once, will never take off
his lips [rom that li fe-giving Fountain! It was this holy
Draught which turned the Saul-in-me into Paul! It i,
this precious Life-Blood which i8 my choicest possession,
which I will never barter [or aught in this world!
Oh dear reader! Knowest thou aught of the Alman,
of the Soul, which thou findest 80 much talked off
in all holy literature? That Atman is hidden under heavy
veils which no one might lift, until the electric Bell of this
weird-Word rings I Then all impervious veils are thrown
off, and the hidden Isis meets you stark naked, resplendent,
burnished like molten gold, yea brighter than aU
the suns combined in their midday glory: Well
migh t St.. Paul say that when he beheld this
Sun , he fell dead, as it were, on the ground, for hi. eyes
were not trained to be hold this effulgent Lustre I It ia
verily Light, but light which is the purest, light which
is not composed of seven complementary colours, but Light
infrangible, undecomposable, for is this not this First
