284 MUSIC AND VISION OF THE ANAHATH CHAKRAM Sat art Thou, and Sat eternal Thou wilt still remain ! All Thy works proclaim Thy gracious providence aloud, Thou full moon of Amavas! Thou sun behind a cloud! Changeless thro' all changes, Devi, all to all Thou art, Red or white or dark as seen in each adorer's heart! Multifold tho one, Durga, Chandi, Katyayani* ! Salutation, Salutation, ever unto Thee! MUSIC AND VISION OF THE ANAHATH CHAKRAM.† Is't a bell ringing from within, Or song-bird singing cling! cling! cling! Or the Onkar, Shrinkar of lute, Or warblings soft of reed or flute ! Whate'er it be, I feel-I know, To this sweet music of the heart- Beyond the reach of human art- A perfect calm of mind I owe, A very sabbath of the Soul, Resting in Brahma's boundless whole ! Sometimes the sound of conch I hear, Names of the Goddess Durga. t The Tantras divide the central spinal system into six regit called Chakras commencing from the lowest, the Muladhara or 1 Sacrococcygeal plexus, to the Sahasrara or upper cerebrum, all beari a resemblance to the lotus flower. The fourth commencing from lowest, called the Anahat Chakram or the Cardiac plexus is said consist of twelve petals. A mystic word meaning the triune god.
