know him...

Know him to be the primal source of life,
Whose glory permeates the universe:
Who is beyond time and space, and is seen
Within the heart in meditation.

Know that he is beyond the tree of life,
He whose power makes the planets revolve:
Who is both law and mercy, and is seen
Within the heart in meditation.

Know him to be the supreme Lord of lords,
King of kings, God of gods, ruler of all,
Wihout action or organs of action,
Whose power is seen in myriad ways.
