[Guest guest]

Devangji says LALLESHWARI is - THE GREAT MYSTIC SAINT of KASHMIR - A

CULMINATION of SHAIVISM (HINDUISM) BUDDHISM and ISLAM

THE FIRST WOMEN IN THE WORLD HISTORY TO GO NAKED AS SHE HAD NOTHING

TO HIDE OR GET MUCH LIKE MAHAVIRA...

 

THE BODY CONSCIOUSNESS or AWARENESS or male or female - DEH BHAVA -

WAS NO MORE (TRANSCENDED FOREVER) SO THERE WAS NO NEED TO COVER IT as

DEVANGJI SAYS!

 

ANDAR BHI NANGA BAHAR BHI NANGA!

 

PURE EMPTINESS!

 

 

 

atshyan+ aay ta gatushun gatshe

pakun gatshe then kyho raath

yor aya turiy gatshun gatshe

khenata khenata kheneta kyha

 

For ever we come, for ever we go;

For ever, day and night, we are on the move.

Whence we come, thither we go,

For ever in the round of birth and death,

From nothingness to nothingness.

But sure, a mystery here abides,

A Something is there for us to know.

(It cannot all be meaningless).

 

+Variation atshan ay (Bhaskara): We have become emaciated with age

and have to depart. Nothing endures.

 

The nothingness in verse 7. is the concept of Shunya of Lord Buddha.

Here, Lal Ded tells us that God/Bhagvan/Self exists and all this is

not a meaningless journey.

aayas kami dishi ta kami vate

Gatsha kami deyshi kava zaana vath;

antidaay lagimay tate,

Chanis phookas kanh ti no sath.

 

Whence I have come and by which way,

I do not know.

Wither I shall go and by which way,

I do not know.

Were I to know the end of it all

And gain the knowledge of the truth,

(it would be well, for otherwise)

Life here is but an empty breath.

gaattulah akh vuchum bwachi suu'ty maraan

Pan zan haraan Pohani vaava laah

Neyshibodh akh vuchum vaazas maaraan

Tana Lalla bha praaraan tseyneym-na praah.

 

I have seen a learned man die of hunger,

A sere leaf drop in winter wind;

I have seen an utter fool beat his cook

(who could not make a toothsome dish).

Since then I, Lalla, anxiously await

The day when the lure of the world will fall away.
