The flower of Adamant


The mind grows, every day.
Goodness wings its way to happiness.
But between you and Us the bridge is spirit.
By spirit one can raise mountains.
But this bridge can be destroyed within a moment.
And the remaining abyss not all the rocks
of the created mountains could refill.


Therefore, guard the flower of Adamant.
It blooms not in ice.
But if the Creator has granted you the power of this bridge to Us,
proceed, and guard the flame.
Say to the passers-by,
We know whither we are bound.
