Guest guest Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 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? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eight Stanzas to Sri Arunachala, V. 5 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 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?

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 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 <tt> Dear Alan,<BR> thanks for sharing your poetry here with us. <BR> It remembers me that in Bhagavan's Hall there always was much poetry <BR> shared.
