Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 om namo bhagavate sri ramanaya 107 >From His mere potent presence flows His fivefold function: as the needle Near the magnet trembles; beneath The moon the moonstone exudes water; The lotus blossoms and the water-lily Closes. [God's five functions are: Creation, preservation, dissolution, veiling and grace.] 108 In the mere presence of the Lord Himself free from all trace of thought, Jivas set out in numerous paths Of action, work away, and wearied Turn inward and return to freedom. 109 The goings on in the world do not Affect the sun; the properties Of earth, water, fire and air touch not The infinite ether. Even so, Men's actions do not reach or move The mind-transcending Lord Supreme. (Sri Muruganar's The Garland of Guru's Sayings - Trans. Prof. K. Swaminathan, Tiruvannamalai; 1996) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
