RAJAYOGA to AGNIYOGA

Light, indeed,

Is Raja Yoga.

It strips the mind

Of what is untrue –

Clarifying, purifying,

It seeks to know

The Life above

Which differs so

From that below.

Re-directed,

mind beholds

The lost forgotten;

Embracing, it kindles,

That Which Is

As It Is,

and has always been.

Strange at first

Yet soon dispersed

As heat burns

The hearth below.

Fire, surely,

Is Agni Yoga.

It strips the heart

Of what is unreal –

Burning, dissolving,

It knows not two.

Fire electric

Quickens spirit

As Life above

And life below

Align in One

As never before.
