The Soul And The Flaming Iron. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

A dark and black
piece of iron,
becomes bright
to become a piece of fire.

Behold it.

The penetrating fire
shines through the iron,
that it gives light.

The iron does not
cease to be iron
and the source
of the fire retains
its own identity.

Fire does not take
the iron into it,
but it penetrates
and shines through the iron.

It is iron as it was before,
and so also is the source
or property of the fire.

In such a manner
is the soul in God.
God penetrates
through the soul,
and dwells in the soul.

The soul may not
comprehend God,
but God comprehends the soul.
God does not alter it
from being a soul
but only gives
it the divine source
and the glory of the Majesty.
