when the gem is cut and polished

As the string in (a necklet of) gems,

it is Thou in Thy unity who penetratest

all the diversity of beings and religions.

 

If, like a gem when it is cut and polished,

the (impure) mind is worked against the

wheel of the (pure) mind to free it of its flaws,

it will take on the light of Thy grace (and shine)

like a ruby, whose fire is unaffected by any

outward object.

 

When the sensitive plate has been exposed

to the sun, can it receive impressions afterwards?

Oh benign and dazzling Aruna Hill!

Is there anything apart from Thee?

Dear Alan,

thanks for sharing your poetry here with us.

It remembers me that in Bhagavan's Hall there always was much poetry

shared. Bhagavan even must have had a book where he pasted all the

verses devotees had brought.

 

Besides about "Thou" and "Thee" - is this still used in todays

English poetry or is this an old form?

 

In HIM

Gabriele

Dear Gabriele , thanks .All Indian scriptures and the Maharshi's Poems were in

rhyme as with Rumi

and Sufi Poetry.Rhyme and meter add to the musicality of a poem so it can touch

a part of the mind

that prose {more intellectual} fails to reach .Thou and Thee are archaic forms

rarely used to

-day .Originally they were the intimate form of you like du in German and tu in

French .They

therefore can be used in devotional poetry where the divine is addressed as Thou

and never you

..Love , in Him , Alan
