Good Evening Joyce,

Reality's statement in the Rumi poem at this URL is

based on a hadith...these are mystical sayings or

stories that are not included in the Koran and whose

validity is challenged by some.....'I was a hidden

treasure and wanted to be known so created creation in

order to be known.' The English of that is pathetic

but gives you the sense of the hadith. The Arabic

used for the word 'known' has to do with taste, as in

tasting the sweetness, madhur and svadh in the

Sanskrit. Both of which are to be noted in RV I.164 in

the tale of the two birds.

 

Back to Rat and Mole. Yes indeed, the baby otter had

to be lost in order to be found. having been guided by

the sweet sound the animals found themsleves in the

Presence of .....

As Dawn, Usha in the Rgvedic hymns, lit up the scene:

'Sudden and magnificent, the Sun's broad golden disc

showed itself over the horizon facing them; and the

first rays, shooting across level water-meadows, took

the animals full in the eyes and dazzled them. When

they were able to look once more, the Vision had

vanished and the air was full of the the carol of

birds that hailed the dawn......'

Then the veil is drawn back over the animals' inner

vision,

 

Oh well, teachings abound and we are fortunate on this

site to share them,

 

Thanks again for the link,

Ah, but was he lost then found, or found then lost?

In the call...

I want to share with you an image which Adiji had posted

on her group page, of Usha, along with a short poem and

Hymn CXIII (Dawn) taken from the link which Sunderji had posted...

Thanks to the One and the Many :-)
