Path to the First World

So as the nature of the outer (Universes)

So is the nature of the inner (Worlds of the small)

So as the nature of the inner (Earth)

So is the nature of the kalachakra (Time wheel)

So as the nature of the kalachakra (Beyond time)

So is the nature of the stainless light (Center of time)

So as the nature of the stainless light (Timeless)

So is the nature of the divine plan (Strength of being the all)

So as the nature of the divine plan (Inner strength)

So the nature of the first world (Shambhala)

- King Gesar Norbu Dradul

This poem was originally written in Mongolian, translated into Tibetan, and then translated again into many languages over many years. This english translation was originally translated by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (Madame Blavatsky).

Gesar of Ling was a legendary Tibetan hero, often linked to the mythical kingdom of Shambhala. Their title "King Gesar Norbu Dradul" refers to Gesar himself, with "Norbu" signifying enlightenment and "Dradul" meaning spiritually powerful. 

Gesar’s title is a representation of Gesar's nature, as an enlightened and spiritually powerful hero representing a hidden teaching called Dharma. 

Dharma’s connection to Shambhala is in itself “Norbu Dradul”. An individual must manifest a powerful spiritual connection to the universe and self enlightenment within themselves to reach or establish Shambhala.
