The Yoga Sutras
of Patanjali

 

 

Paraphrased by Djwhal Khul
with commentary by Alice Bailey.

Before the soul can see,
the harmony within must be attained,
and fleshly eyes be rendered blind 
to all illusion.

Before the soul can hear,
the image (Man) 
has to become as deaf 
to roarings as to whispers,
to cries of bellowing elephants 
as to the silvery buzzing 
of the golden fire-fly.

Before the soul can comprehend 
and may remember,
she must unto the silent speaker 
be united,
just as the form 
to which the clay is modelled 
is first united 
with the potter's mind.

For then the soul will hear,
and will remember.
And then to the inner ear will speak 
the voice of silence.

From: Helena Blavatsky
The Voice of the Silence
