Quest for Ultimate Being : Invocation of Kaidara, Fulani God of Gold and of Knowledge




Kaidara

beam radiated from the burning hearth that is Gueno :
the manifestation of ultimacy

Kaidara

Splitter in two
embodiment of the division, distinctiveness, and yet ultimate unity of all in existence

Walker on water
 the transcendence of the laws of nature

Gazer at the stars
reader of celestial alignments and cosmic configurations

Importunate aged one
embodiment and demonstrator of challenges that compel one to look below the surface of phenomena

Unifier of time
embodiment of past, present and future in eternity

Near yet distant
immediately present as the most intimate possibility
embodied in the being of every moment
echoes of whose magnificence traveling from awesome depths reaches the mind in privileged moments
yet ignored in the rush and familiarity of the present
the journey to whom entails a transformation of the self

Scope of all knowledge
embodiment of totality
of the farthest reaches of the ever receding possibilities of the known

Concealed one:
hidden in the mundane
spark under the stone
light of the stars in every moment
magnificence blazing in the thrill of being, yet passed over by the jaded eye

 Illumine us!

Revealed yet hidden:
the lowly pool of water that mirrors the depths of the sky
the sound in the silence travelling from profound depths
the abyss of meaning in every moment
the power cascading into view in the moment between two breaths
the resonating silence
the turtle whose anus crushes bone
the chameleon invisible among the leaves
the palpitation of the heartbeat that is the exaltation of the cosmos in the self


Expositor of secrets:
The awakening at every dawn
the configurator of meaning
arranger of pebbles into shapes
the blinding flash of illumination of remote spiritual truths
radiance emanating from the entrance to the Law
the eureka moment when the random becomes the meaningful
the aha! moment when the opaque becomes luminous
the arranger of the string of experience into a pattern glowing with meaning
the situator of the self within the nexus of before, now, after, and forever, within the axis of totality


Exploding in wonder : 
the burst of volcanic flame from the eruption in the moment that divides one second from another
the celebration of existence
the celebration of the manifestation of the cosmos out of the seed
the emergence of being into new possibilities in every moment


Appearer at will:
lightning swift
here now and gone again
the one whom to meet once in a lifetime is to be most favoured
 master of space
bender of time
recreator of reality
lord of all dimensions
the light that traverses the cosmos in an instant


Core of the ultimate
Blaze of illumination
Manifester in the mundane
Appearance unforetold
Form  unpredictable
The remote in the present


The preregrinator
whose motion in space  mirrors the movement within physical and mental space that shapes human life
the transformations from one state of being to another
across small and vast periods of time that shape existence 


Summation of wealth:
the bounty that overflows from the ground of being
the power that shapes the world
 the rain of blessings
the gold that empowers
the enabler of all possibilities
coruscating wonder

Puddle on the road :
lowly yet powerful
the ignored force
the hidden one
ignoble one of hidden majesty
dirty ancient one whose form conceals the womb of power
lice infested one who is yet the great teacher, unencountered through years of searching 
but presenting himself when least expected

Reflector of the heavens :
embodiment of the motion of time
embodiment of the turning of the earth on its axis
embodiment of the earth’s revolution round the solar center
embodiment of the forces that propel the cosmos in its dispersion in farthest space
embodiment of the forces that shape the motion of the planets round the solar core
embodiment of the forces that construct galactic expanse
embodiment of the gravity absorbing force of the cosmic hole from which no light escapes
embodiment of the zero zone, the nothingness before the emergence of cosmic being

Lowly sign :
the downtrodden that is yet the doorway into infinity


Pointer to the distant:
the finger pointing to fantastic destinations
the eye that sees beyond the horizon
the road that vanishes into the unknown
the path leading from the doorstep into infinity
