Guest guest Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 Pranams Advaitins, Here is a humble attempt to greet you from a modest lurker. == The souls were drenched in the darkness of unreality, tied up by the demon of duality, to the chains of karma and samskaras. The blue one in his infinite compassion was coming to fight, "I too would come", said his shakti. "That is a battleground and the souls are in a pity state, you would be sorry to see them" said the lord. "more the reason", said his shakti, "further, victory is not possible without me". "Ok", said the Lord. Battle ensured. It was bloody. The hordes of the souls, that had no time to wait for emancipation, had already become trophies in the other side. The darkness of unreality, was so immense, that even the lord thought to himself, "I am the manifestation of brahman, why is this darkness taking so long?" He sat meditating. His shakti thought, "This is no ordinary battleground, the oppressed souls are refusing, to see the true light within them." "The demon does not have the power to stand before even one of them." "The chains are rusty and the demon is unreal, to tie these souls." "What is needed is self-realization." "Let me help them by revealing myself". She said to them, "I am satya, the truth and reality. See me!" "You oppressed souls! know that this darkness of unreality does not exist, this demon of duality does not have power over you." "Know thyself! Know that your inner self, is as infinite, and as potent, as that which drives the lord here." "tat tvam asi. tat tvam asi". The souls realized the illusory nature of the demon, it was Brahman everywhere. The lord wokeup and smiled, it was Brahman everywhere. Filled everywhere was, the radiance of a thousand suns, it was Brahman everywhere. Not that there was a time when it was not, it was Brahman everywhere. Truth, peace and joy prevailed. Om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthi. == Happy Deepavali! warm regards Ramakrishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks Sunder Hattangadi ji, for that enchanting picture on the Home Page. Thanks again, Sundar Rajan ji, for that piece on Maanasika-puja and remembering Acharyal who descended on this Day of Lights to drive away darkness from our lives. subbu Om Tat Sat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
