MANTRAS

[Guest guest]

Salutations to Thakur, Guru, and Ma!

 

M.--"All words of Thakur are Veda mantras.

 

He himself said : 'Bhakta, Bhagavata, Bhagavan'--One.

 

The Kathamrita is His word so it is the Bhagavata.

 

 

This reminds me of another incident. Thakur is seated on the smaller cot.

 

Calling me to his side, he says : "See, He talks through this mouth'

 

Ah, his words are Veda mantras. Though not in Sanskrit, yet, they are mantras.

 

 

--'Brahman, Maya, Jiva, Jagat', this is one mantra

 

Repeating it one becomes perfect, that is, one sees God.

 

--'Tanke dakbe mane bane kone', call upon Him in the mind, in the forest,

 

in the corner--this again is a mantra.

 

--'Ekti thak ache, Ishwar boi kichhu jane na--jeman moumachhi phule boi bosbe

na'

 

There is a class which knows nothing but God, as for example, the bee which sits

on nothing else but a flower.

 

-- 'Tini antare bahire abar taro atit', He is inside, outside, and beyond all

this.

 

This is the essence of the Gayatri.

 

If I were to repeat, 'He is inside, outside and beyond all this', shall I not

succeed?"

GAYATRI MANTRA

 

 

 

Om Bhur Bhuvah Svah

 

Tat savitur varenyam

 

Bhargo devasya dhimahi

 

Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat.

 

 

 

I meditate on the radiant and most venerable light of the Divine, from which

issues

 

forth the triple world (the bhuh, bhuvah, and svaha). May the Divine light

 

illumine and guide my intelligence.
