I would say this song is very mystical. Ride on through the night signifies meditating through the night. The "echos of a thundering hooves and a thousand doves" are the astral sounds in the spinal centers. To meditate properly, you must "witness" your thoughts. "You can feel its gentle hand leading on to its destiny" is similar to the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam's verse "The moving finger writes and having writ moves on." Yogananda's interpretation of this is karma or cosmic law or the natural order of the universe. The gentle hand of the divine is moving us towards our destiny. And then "the boundaries of time are tossed...in cathedrals of the forest in the words of the tongues now lost" signifies the meditative state of samadhi or bliss which is beyond time and language and even thoughts. |
