But so-called knowledge is not ever true,

Frail mortals know not that the states of Heaven

Permit below themselves the states of Hell

To be—that mortals there may feel the Truth—

The everlasting fire, consuming Self—

Destroying all the former things in man

Through fiery sufferings induced by self,

Through freedom granted by a Loving God.

The Universal King in love ordains

That man shall ever reap the crop he sows,
