Patience is to endure
thunder and lightning,
patience is (to bear) darkness
at midday.
Patience is being ground up
in the mill.
Be content, dear,
it will come
by itself.

I slowed the breath
in the bellows-pipe,
the lamp blazed brightly
and showed me my Self.     |
The inner light shone forth,
and in the darkness
I seized it,
and held it tight.

Had I known
how to control
the inner pathways
with the mind,
tearing, binding, and cutting
the kleshas (obstacles to Yoga),
then I would have known
how to prepare
the magical elixir.
Shiva is hard to attain,
so take heed.
