The Substance in All

 

I say the single substance within all individual forms,

 Within each and every one is the substance of the cosmos. 

Here the cosmos nourishes bodies spirit nourishing souls.

Knowing wisdom is heavens nourishment  

By which alone humankind could be happy. 

Here whose mind can receive so great a benefit. 

As the world is lit by the light of the sun, 

So the human mind becomes clear by thy inner light, 

 For whatever the sun illumines is lit loving right,

 By the interposition of the earth, the moon, the arrival of sight.  

Once it is joined with the human soul,

 

Becomes a single substance through a total fusion, 

So human minds of this kind are never impeded by the

illusions of darkness. 

Hence, rightly, such understanding is the soul of God and stars

I say, only the great principal ones, and of these the original.

For God I say ye are at the very head of things.

This single substance within each and all,

Threads like each body the cosmos forms.

Cosmos feeds matter, spirit nurtures souls,

Wisdom being mine, the highest of goals.

Yet I receive this celestial gift,

Mine that is doing grasping accepting spirits nourishment.

Just as the sun lights the Earth’s way,

The inner sun brightens minds clear as day.

Illusions resolve, darkness completes play;

Human and divine merge in thy hearts.

United in essence, inseparable, one

Mind joining spirit, surpassing the sun.

Such understanding, the soul of the stars,

Highest of beings, ascending afar.

God at the center, in all who perceive,

Knowing my substance— I conceive in believe and achieve.
