A symphony in emerald, opal, sapphire...
Infinities of sky and sea."
-- from Autobiography Of A Yogi, Chapter 48
May they go hand in hand with us, giving the healing virtues of their blessed gifts,
As widespread as the earth, as far-flung as the rivers, as high-reaching as the sun,
For the furtherance of better men, for the increase of abundance and glory.
May obedience conquer disobedience within this house;
May peace triumph here over discord; free-hearted giving over avarice, truthful speech over deceit, reverence over contempt.
That our minds be delighted, and our souls uplifted, let our bodies be glorified as well;
O Light Divine, may we see Thee, and may we approaching, come round about Thee, and attain unto Thine entire companionship!"
'Prayer for A Dwelling' from the Zend-Avesta, on Encinitas hermitage door.
