[Guest guest]

here are verses from amrita-anubhava by saint jnaeshwer!

 

.. The chaste and well devoted Sakti cannot live without her Lord.

Without Her the all doer has no existence.

 

22. The two cannot be distingushed because the appearance of her Lord

is

due to her while her existence is due to him.

 

23. We cannot distinguish sugar and sweetness, camphor and fragrance.

 

24. While trying to gather the rays we get hold of the flame itself.

We

get Siva while trying to catch hold of her essence.

 

25. The sun shines on account of his lustre, but the essence of his

nothing but the sun. So the One Supreme Beauty shines swallowing all

the

difference.

 

26. An object is the cause of its reflection. The reflection is the

cause of the inference of the object. ( The one object appears as an

object and its reflection ). In the same way one Reality shines as

two.

 

27. The essence of all void became Purusha through her, while the

Sakti

got her peculiar existence through the Lord.

 

28. Siva Himself formed His beloved without whom Siva loses His own

personality.

 

29. Her form is the cause of God and His glory manifested in the

process

of the world. But Her form itself is created by Him out of Himself.

 

30. Blushing at her formless husband and her own graceful form, she

adorned him with the ornament and names and forms as great as the

universe.

 

31. There was scarcity even of unity. But she, the fortunate one,

playfully presented the rich manifold of the world.

 

32. She manifested the glory of her Lord by melting own body, while by

belittling himself he made her wellknown.

 

33. He assumes the form of a seer through his love to see her. If he

fails to see her he throws himself away.

 

34. He assumes the form of the universe through her importunities and

he

is left naked without her.

 

35. He is so subtle that he is not visible though manifest. He assumed

the form of the universe through her grace.

 

36. The Siva awakened by her, is satisfied when he eats the dishes in

the form of the objects that are perceived as well as one who serves

him.

 

37. When her husband is asleep she gives birth to all the things

living

and non-living. When she takes rest the husband himself vanishes.

 

38. When the husband hides himself, he is not discovered without her.

Both of them are like mirrors to each other.

 

39. Siva enjoys his own bliss by embracing her. Though he is all

enjoyer

he enjoys nothing without her.

 

40. She is his form while her beauty is due to him who is her lover.

They are enjoying the feast by intermingling with each other.

 

hari om tat sat!
