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

[edit]
This is a hymn for the ascension.
