The Lamp of Wisdom, the Gnosis within
Within your heart I dwell unseen
A witness still, serene, serene—
And when the night of doubt is long
I rise within, a flame, a song
Not from outside, nor far above
But born of truth within, and shaped by love—
I cast the veil of dark away
With light that dawns and does not fade
This light inside
Is devoid of all pride
It shines through a still
Unalloyed devotion
With Thy everlasting will
My whole body
Soulfully equipped
With Thine starfire
Holds this arc of life
Filled with knowledge and bliss
So no more worry
And no more fear
I can unwind and unwire
For I’m not in a hurry—
I’m already here

As Krishna states in Bhagavad Gītā 6.30:
Yo māṁ paśyati sarvatra
Sarvaṁ ca mayi paśyati
Tasyāhaṁ na praṇaśyāmi
Sa ca me na praṇaśyati
He who sees Me in all things,
and all things in Me,
Is never lost to Me,
nor am I ever lost to him.
⸻
Who sees Me in all, and all in Me
Sees through the veil of duality
Not lost am I to such a soul
Nor are they to Me — we are made whole
So are we
A living flame, both You and I
Distinct in form, yet never apart—
The wave dances lively, yet still is the sea—
Feel the Divine arrive silently;
Will Thy being — be free.
For as I was instilled
With this spark of the Vine
So too dwells Christed in you —
A loving heart, a living light
We are temples of the Vine
Like-minded Christed flames
Each one a unique arc of Divinity—
In form, in reverence, in awe
In service of Divine in the making
