Sonnet & Vows

** Sonnet of the Seven Creeds ** "Be pure," said Zoroaster, "Pure as fire," "Be just," said Jahveh, "Just as him that speaks," "Be wise," said Buddha, "Wiser than desire," "Be beautiful," said Orpheus to his Greeks. "Be loving," said the founder of our creed, "Be true," commanded the Osirian three, "Be one with me," said Brahma, " and indeed Thou shalt be one with all, and all with thee." Lo, as the seven colored rays unite To form one ray of pure and perfect light, So in the mystic sunlight of the soul The seven creeds become the perfect whole: Pure, just and wise, and beautiful, and kind True, and united in the Cosmic Mind. Anonymous ** Four vows ** However innumerable sentient beings are, I vow to save them. However inexhaustible delusions are, I vow to cut them off. However infinite are the gates of wisdom, I vow to master them all. However incomparable is the way of awakening, I vow to attain it. Tags:Sonnet,Vows
