This chant is an invocation between the teacher and the student, between that which we know and that which is just on the other side of knowing. A teacher is, in essence, the bridge that connects the two. 

This chant is akin to a pact or vow; a vow to protect one another and enjoy gaining strength in the process of learning, considering everything from the earth to the sky, from darkness to light, and to never abandon each other at any cost. 

There is a world where we are wise enough to recognize that there is no difference between , where we encourage and celebrate life and relinquish any fear or sense of lack. The earth is generous in every way and the fulfillment in life is simply to embody a willingness to let life live through you, to be the magnificent expression of the Universe. The intention behind your creation is magnificence. You are made of stardust. You are magic.
