Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 When I am not consious in the wakeful state, when I am not conscious in dream state, when I am not conscious in dreamless sleep. When I am out of clutches of my organs,when i am away from logics of Mind, when I am away from the Thoughts, when I am away from Avidya, I am in turiya state (samadhi), my natural state of being. Full of bliss, full of knowledge, full of light. I am in my enemies, I am in my friends I am in the relatives, i am in the strangers. I am the colors of the Rainbow, I am the light and heat of the sun and stars, I fly around like birds, I am the tormentor, the grief and the grieved. I am the emotion, I am the eye, and i am the tears. I am Avidya (ignorance)and I am the Vidya (knowledge), I am shiva and I am shakti. I am Krishna and I am Meera I am Rama and I am Ravana. My will power is making me ignorant and my will power will wake me up to the truth. Then what it is that is stopping me to become one with the Universe ???<br><br>Hari OM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 My dear Silent soul!<br>i have given alot of thought to your question of what keeps you from merging with the Universe. (Actually, i think of you alot *smile*! Your health is always in my prayers.) i have this answer for you:<br><br>"O Sadhu! The simple union is the best.<br>Since the day when I met with my Lord there has been no end to the sport of our love.<br>I shut not my eyes, I close not my ears, <br>I do not mortify my body;<br>I see Him with eyes open and smile, and behold His beauty everywhere;<br>I utter His name, and whatever I see,<br>it reminds me of Him; whatever I do, it becomes His worship.<br>The rising and setting are one to<br>me; all contradictions are solved.<br>Wherever I go, I move round Him,<br>All I achieve is His service:<br>When I lie down, I lie prostrate at His feet...<br>I am immersed in that one great bliss which<br>transcends all pleasure and pain."<br><br>Kabir<br><br>tadeva sadhyatam tadeva sadhyatam<br>(Cultivate grace alone; cultivate grace alone.)<br>>:*)<br> >:*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Thanx peggy for the beautiful Kabir poem. How lucky I am that His bhakta love me and I am sure one day Krishna will be forced by his Bhakta to love me too. <br><br> (I know I am wrong here, as Krishna loves us always..it is only we who have to learn to love him)<br>Hari Bol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
