Guest guest Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 A few years ago, I had done some reading online about Meera and had saved some images as well. It will be such a gift to read Sarojaji's writings on her and other great bhaktas. Meanwhile, I thought I would share some of my images and two informational links below, along with this poem... The Heat of Midnight TearsBy Mirabai(1498 - 1565?)English version by Robert BlyListen, my friend, this road is the heart opening,Kissing his feet, resistance broken, tears all night.If we could reach the Lord through immersion in water,I would have asked to be born a fish in this life.If we could reach Him through nothing but berries and wild nuts,Then surely the saints would have been monkeys when they came from the womb!If we could reach him by munching lettuce and dry leaves,Then the goats would surely go to the Holy One before us!If the worship of stone statues could bring us all the way,I would have adored a granite mountain years ago.Mirabai says: The heat of midnight tears will bring you to God. -- from The Winged Energy of Delight, Translated by Robert BlyAmazon.com Bio of Mirabai...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MirabaiViraha in Mira's poetry...http://www.ambahouse.org/meeratalk.html This is one of my favorites of all my images...
