The Sufism of the Rubáiyát

56

Norton F. W. Hazeldine translation

Look to thy body there to find the Mystic Numbers it contains, the Coccyx Four on which the Sacrum Five do rest, where spirit matter joins, and the tree of life again puts forth. Upon this nine, though to five this nine returns, rest the dorsal twelve, the Sacred Temples of those Mysteries from which the tribes of is and ra were named, In the Cervical Seven dwell supreme those powers of god enthroned in man; these do contain the three in one of which the ages have all sung, about that trinity sublime which moves the worlds to good. Now three in one, and four plus five, and twelve plus seven, and you have found those marks thirty and two of perfect birth.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
