This developed soul is expressed as a twelvefold form around one – the central one being an eternal flame, our pilot light. Each element of the unfolding twelvefold geometry is a jewel in the making.
This excerpt from Canto III Book 1 of The Yoga of the Soul’s Release by Sri Aurobindo resonates to a remarkably similar frequency:
All here must learn to obey a higher law,
Our body’s cells must hold the Immortal’s flame.
Else would the spirit reach alone its source
Leaving a half-saved world to its dubious fate.
Nature would ever labour unredeemed;
Our Earth would ever spin unhelped in Space
and this immense creation’s purpose fail
Till at last the frustrate universe sank undone.
