Like a powerful
and impetuous colt,
so are the human mind and
the vital energy,
a wondrous machine,
vehement and untamed.
The mind and the vital forces are;
a sublime and grand gift,
not a limit,
they must not be suffocated.
It is for the true yogi to transform
these forces!
To raise them high!
To make them suited to other
fields and to higher
tasks.
Old cultures and religions
have shut in
cages this
splendid animal
of the same nature
as the supreme Atman.
