THE SECRET OF SAINT-GERMAIN

Two world wars erupted a century later;¹
the retribution of Allah upon the heedless
was manifest.

When the saint of the unseen lifts the veil,
he does not perform a spectacle.
If he is rejected, catastrophe is near;
few are those who survive.²

He was born at the beginning
of the eighteenth century.
I say “it is said” —
let me reveal the secret, so that you may awaken.

No one knows
*“From where the Spirit comes and where it goes,”*³
for the Spirit is everywhere;
thus Jesus teaches us.

Gabriel addresses every prophet
in the prophet’s own language.
In Paradise, however,
only “Peace (Salām)” is spoken.⁴

Ali says:
“I speak every language in the world;
this is the sign
that I am the Spirit.”⁵

Since “every name is a word,
and every word is Spirit,”
the one who speaks all languages
must be Adam himself.⁶

“Fifty days after Passover,
the Spirit descended upon the apostles,
and they spoke every language,”⁷
so that understanding might be complete.

This feast is called Pentecost in the Gospel.
“Pentecost” means the fiftieth day;
the initiated understand.⁸

Allah says:
*“The Spirit reaches Me in fifty thousand years.”*⁹
With twenty-eight letters,
the points complete the number fifty.

In every ancient temple
there is the image of a serpent — why?
Because both the serpent and the initiate
shed their skin.¹⁰

The initiate feeds on sunlight
until the appointed time arrives.
The physical body stores energy
as a reserve for the subtle body.

When the inner physical body is formed,
there is no need
to preserve the outer one.

The subtle body then clothes itself
in a new physical body
and appears
as “a young man whose mustache has just begun to grow.”¹¹

After this process,
he departs to another land.
People say:
“Who is this strange man?
Where did he come from?”

“After exactly three days,
Jesus rose from the tomb,”¹²
and the feast was named Easter
for this very reason.

Zachariah too remained silent
*“as if dead for three days,”*¹³
and then the Almighty
bestowed upon him John.

This feast is celebrated each year
on the twenty-first of March.
It is said to be
the birth day of Ali—
O heedless one, awaken!

The Torah says:
*“At first, all humanity spoke a single language on Earth.”*¹⁴
They lived as brothers,
intimately united.

This transparent race
was called the Second Adam.
When it condensed, it fell
and lost its state of innocence.

In the end, in rebellion,
it built the Tower of Babel,
observed the heavens from the tower,
and worshipped the stars.¹⁵

Allah destroyed the tower
and caused the single language to be forgotten.
Everyone spoke differently
and followed a different path.

“Everyone became an enemy to everyone else,
and war began.”
Remember the forgotten single language:
its name is Spirit.¹⁶

You are the tower.
“Babel” means the Gate of Allah.¹⁷
Enter through the Gate
before the tower collapses —
and know yourself.
