as the sevenfold solar waters, the rain of heaven, the streams
of the Truth, the seven mighty Ones of heaven, the waters that
have knowledge, the floods that breaking through the control
of Vritra the Coverer ascend and overflow the mind. They, seers
and revealers, make the light of the Truth to arise on the darkened
sky of his mentality, fill with its luminous and honey-sweet
satisfactions the atmosphere of his vital existence, transform into
its vastness and plenitude by the power of the Sun the earth of
his physical being, create everywhere the divine Dawn.
Then are established in man the seasons of the Truth, the
divine workings, called sometimes the Aryan workings; the law
of the Truth seizes and guides his action, the word of the Truth is
heard in his thought. Then appear the straight undeviating paths
of the Truth, the road and ford of Heaven, the way of going of the
gods and of the fathers; for by this path where no violence is done
to the divine workings, straight, thornless, happy, easy to tread

guard, the luminous fathers ascended by the power of the Word,
by the power of the Wine, by the power of the Sacrifice into the
fearless light and stood upon the wide and open levels of the

straight things of the truth-conscious mind.
For always the courses of the Sun, the gallopings of the
divine horse Dadhikravan, the movement of the chariot-wheels
of the gods travel on the straight path over wide and level ranges
where all is open and the vision is not confined; but the ways
of the lower being are crooked windings beset with pits and
stumbling-blocks and they crawl unvisited by the divine impulsion
over a rugged and uneven ground which screens in from
men their goal, their road, their possible helpers, the dangers that
await them, their ambushed enemies. Travelling on the path of
the Truth with the straight and perfect leading of the gods the
limitations of mind and body are at length transcended; we take
possession of the three luminous worlds of the higher heaven,
enjoy the beatific immortality, grow into the epiphany of the
gods and build in our human existence the universal formations
