The Seer, Sight and the seen

A chant inspired by Hazrat Inayat Khan.

The Seer the sight and the seen

Knower, knowledge and the known

Beyond all my homespinning reasoning

First second third within

Bramaha

Alpha to Omega

Beyond all my sunsets and most distant star

Easing in unification

Breathe in me lightly beloved one heart

When sitting, standing reclining

Adour in each and every breath

Essencing You in my living

Strong Tower, Will Power within humbleness

My speaking my hearing now leaning

Into compassionate wordlessness

Reaching towards my beginning

The wound in your side beating deep in my chest

Beat in our heart, our hearts our hearts

So empty so soulfully fill us with you

In every wave and vibration

So swimming the deep we discover anew

The Oceans of harmony sleeping forgets

Soaking those seeking for Beauties respect.

My very first day of covid, the battle is won!

From Hazarat Inayat Khan’s The Dance of the Soul (part of Ragas, pa147):

Let Thy wish become my desire

Let Thy will become my deed

Let Thy word become my speech, Beloved

And Thy love become my creed

Let my plant bring forth Thy flowers

Let my fruits produce Thy seed

Let my heart become Thy lute, Beloved

And my body Thy flute of reed.

and my ditty after this:

The battle is done

my heart is won

My Beloved and I

Sway as one

The battle is done

My heart is won

May my Beloved and I

Breathe as one.

Glow garbed flame

And I read further that long ago ‘souls collect atoms of radiance‘ and that ‘glow, garbed with a flame came’ to the lips of a Persian poet. And that now humankind dreams to transform and connect again in metaphor through mountainside and monastery with candle, match and lamp at hand.
