she who is real caused unreality.
It is she who has become everything.
It is she who has become everything.
It is she who gives reality to all.

Spirit existed as Unmanifest.
The Self is the source of abiding joy.
The Self is the source of abiding joy.

If she were not there, who would breathe, who live? She it is who fills every heart with joy.
