The first call of the Beloved is this:
O mystic nightingale!
Live ye in the rose-garden of the spirit. Abide ye here as the pure, all-encompassing Equanimity that you already are.
Stop, pause, and breathe should the voice of falsehood give challenge to your Eternal Value.
Breathe in your Sanctuary of Power & Strength. This is your Protection.
Beware of betraying thy Ever-Abiding Song for that which charms & entraps.
O messenger of perfect love! Seek thou no shelter but the sanctuary of Absolute Oneness.
O immortal phoenix! Reside not but on the mount of Faithfulness & Honour.
Therein rests thy habitation, if, on the wings of thy being, thou soarest to the realm of Boundless Wholeness and choose to claim thy goal.
