Translation:Qolasta/Prayer 66


 * LXVI.
 * In the name of life.
 * I lie there wrapped
 * In a garment, in which there is no flaw.
 * In a garment, in which there is no defect,
 * there is no lack and defect in it.
 * The life knew about me,
 * Adam, who lay there, woke up.
 * He seized me by the palm of the right hand
 * and gave me not...in my hand.
 * They cast light into the darkness,
 * and the darkness filled with light.
 * On the day when the light rises,
 * the darkness will return to its place.
 * The souls of this ascension shall approach the cloud of light,
 * to the place of light be their path.
 * And praised be the life.

Commentary

 * This is a hymn for the ascension.
