Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Dear Friends in the Self The Author of this poem is unknown to me but it is marvelous.... If you know who is the Author please let me know.. Ode to Death O Death! O Lord Yama! Good-bye unto Thee Thou art administering the laws of Isvara. All fall a prey to Thee, All come into Thy jaws. Thou art time, Thou art Dharmaraja, O! Omniscient Kala (Time), Thou art the dispenser of the Law. Thou art acquainted With the three periods of time; Thou once initiated Nachiketas Into the mysteries of Atman or Brahma-Vidya. I have transcended Time and Death, I am Eternity. Where is Time in Eternity? Time is a mental creation. I have transcended mind, I am not afraid of Death. I am beyond Thy reach now, I bid Thee farewell now. I am grateful for all Thy kind acts. Salutations unto Thee, O Lord Yama! I wish to attain Videhamukti now, I will merge in the Supreme Self. with respect and love bindu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
