Guest guest Posted November 3, 2002 Report Share Posted November 3, 2002 Dear Jiva and Alton - poetic outpourings are meaningful and I do not consider crafted metered verse such as Alton's "dog roll" , far from it .Please Jiva let us see some of your poetry citics are often those that can't do but know better than everyone else . I have been looking at the Garland and to increase my own appreciation of uruganar's verse as translated into free verse by Swaminathan , I am seeing what would happen if it was versified according to English prosody . Here is an offering also on Self Enquiry When urgent Self Enquiry does ignite The mind , striking the flinty stoney heart , Bright sparks glow ; one knows the radiant light Of pure Awareness , whose Name it imparts ; "I Am That I Am" , ending the dark night Of ignorance and deep gloom of despair , The delusion of our world's dire nightmare. I agree Jiva with you about restraint of breath - a great aid for diving into the Heart Shalom and Namaskars , Alan --- NKA NESSUNO <leenalton wrote: <HR> <html><body> <tt> Dear Jiva wrote:<BR> This is the worst sort of goggerel.

He gave equal darshan to low cast untouchables as well as high cast Brahmans. This honoring the diversity of all beings is one of the attributes that makes Sri Ramana incomparable.<BR> <BR> Also, Jiva I think you meant doggerel not goggeral.
