The Hymn of the Pearl

At once, as soon as I saw it,
The Glory looked like my own self.
I saw it in all of me,
And saw me all in all of it,
That we were two in distinction,
And yet again one in one likeness.

- Gnostic, The Hymn of the Pearl

Lippi

The Pearl is a symbol of the Sahasrara Chakra,

at the crown of the head,
where Self-realisation is attained.
