“The Angels, Gracious Light of Soul,
bending near the earth
in me
touched the golden heart strings
of my heart
and the worlds
in silent obeisance lay
to hear their voices:
"Peace and Joy!
Peace and Joy
unto All!"
Upon this midnight clear
I listen to their
Word
resounding,
still.”
By Swami Kamalananda
“Praise be to Allah, who created the heavens and the earth,
who made the angels, messengers with wings…”
From the Qur’an, Fatir 35:1
“Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars.
Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the skies.
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for at his command they were created.”
From Psalms 148:2-5
“Let your life come amongst them like a flame of light, my child, unflickering and pure, and delight them into silence. Let them see your face, my child, and thus know the meaning of all things. Let them love you and love each other. Come and take your seat in the bosom of the limitless, my child. At sunrise open and raise your heart like a blossoming flower, and at sunset bend your head and in silence complete the worship of the day.”
From “The Child Angel” by Rabindranath Tagore
