to castigate a religion for admonishing humanity against the evils of overindulgence in the sex instinct. The speaker resents being told "Thou shalt not commit adultery."He does not want to control his sexual urges, so he attempts to equate those base urges with the naturalness of a garden with sweet flowers, while equating the religion with a chapel that is shut and priests in black who would deprive him of his unbridled lust.

In this long versagraph, the speaker demonstrates the efficacy of acquiring the ability to experience samadhi. He first iterates that this ability is the one that gives "hope." In the darkness that earth life expresses, "My little soul will breathe with the Eternal Breath"; this ability assures the hope of eternal life and overcomes the human being's greatest fear, death.
