The Book of the Cave. Gaurisankarguha

The Pilgrim of the Sky the Ocean Wanderer and the Sister of the Birch standing at the door of the Cave.] The Pilgrim of the Sky Dead are my ancestors dead am I. I leave no progeny. [...] The Cave-dweller From the Mother of my Thoughts I thank the Lord of the Sky and the Lord of the Ocean and the Lord of the Earth for their good-will towards me. [...] For their welfare do I visit men in all corners of the earth.46 THE BOOK OF THE CAVE At the command of the Mother I move; up and down East and West showering the rays of Freedom upon all ; The Mother is the Circle I am but a curve ; The Mother is the Whole I am but a part ; The Mother is the Opening Lotus I am but a single petal ; The Mother is the Ocean of Honey I am but a thirsty bee. [...] I am man and woman and the intemediate one ; I am the ape and the tiger and the lamb ; I wander in the woods of dark cotinents as the savage cannibal ; I watch by the bedside of the sick in the home of mercy."56 THE BOOK OF THE CAVE I am ferocity in the beast of prey ; am compassion in the heart of the mother. [...] A voice is heard in the direction of the East.] Voice I am the Unnamed and the Unnamable One ; I am not of the kin of the shadows who spin the rolling globes of Time and Space ;64 THE BOOK OF THE CAVE I am not the source of the perpetual stream which floodeth the spheres of the breathing and of those who live unbreathing ; I wander not among the whirling stars of your love ; I care not to move on
