Worship oh mind, the lord of six faces
Representing the five elements and
The one that coordinates them all;
That which is valour, compassion, patience,
Providence, gnosis and the fate.
That which as the fire, lies hidden and sustains life,
As a lamp would serve to worship,
Would light up to drive away darkness
Would assume the shape of that which adopts
Would serve to cook one’s food or to make a living
Would torch and burn down that intends to destroy.
That which as water, quenches thirst,
As the rains would pour out without discrimination,
As the streams that soak the parched earth
As the rivers that never stop in their search for the eternal
As the oceans that sustain life within and without
As the tempest that would punish when provoked.
That which as mother earth, is patience personified
Provides even when ploughed and dug
Heats up and cools to keep life in tact
Makes manure even of the wastes dumped in its bosom
Contains even the vast oceans and seas
By a mere shrug can make the recalcitrant repent.
Like the air which is all pervading
Youthful ever in its gait and reach
Stokes the fire, and also puts it out
Makes the waves rise and fall
Lies even inside the hardest rocks
And chokes to kill when ill-treated.
Like the sky which covers the entire earth
Which sees all and keeps it to itself
Which can cool even the hottest when it reaches out
Where life sustains even with little air
Where clouds could roam but would not touch
Which when enraged could pour down its wrath.
Like the universe which has no limit
That allows the elements to function at will
For which heat or cold make no difference
Which is not caught in the warps of time
But which dictates every second and its subjects
And stirs not, whatever is done or not and is eternal.
