Love's Riddle

Love's Riddle

I am the mystery
of God's dispensation.

I am the manifestations
of the mercy of the Almighty.

I am the source
of spirituality.

I am the light
of heaven.

I am the breath
of the Holy Spirit
energizing the human soul.

I am the source
of Divine revelation.

I am the living link
intrinsic in reality.

I am the formula guaranteeing
joy in all the worlds of God.

I am illumination
in the darkness.

I am the organic connection
between God and humanity.

I am the vital bond
insuring spiritual progress.

I am the law
of God.

I am the power binding together
the elements of creation.

I am the magnetic force
controlling the motion of the spheres.

I am the authority
divulging the secrets of the universe.

I am the spirit of life
to humankind.

I am the founder of true civilization
on the material plane.

I am the distributor
of everlasting glory.
