I am the supreme All-Being,
whose playful transmutation is the macrocosm,
and I am the innermost principle in man - in the microcosm;
I am the divine life-principle revealed in the melody of the breath.
I am the Lord, the all-containing cosmic giant
and the Self, the imperishable divine-life center in man.
"I bring forth the universe from my essence
and I abide in the cycle of time that dissolves it.
-Heinrich Zimmer
