Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 James Bean spiritualawakening From the book, " A Weaver Named Kabir, " Charlotte Vaudeville, Oxford University Press. A POEM OF KABIR Tell me, O Brother, on what prop does the sky rest? Happy is he who has pierced the Mystery! On that canopy of the sky, stars appear: Who is the clever artist who painted them? Him whom you seek is not up there -- He has His dwelling in Immortality. * Says Kabir, He alone will know Him Who has Ram [God] in his heart and Ram on his lips. ** ____________ * " Immortality, " literally: amar-pad or the state of Deathlessness, which is IDENTICAL with the sahaj state of meditation. ** Mentally or verbally chanting Names of God is a spiritual practice of the Masters. The Sants of India call this practice " Simran; " Sufis call it " Zikr. " Both terms mean Remembrance. By remembering God's Name we can remember God in the meditative state, and throughout the day. Repeating God's Name is a way to remain awake in a world where spiritual slumber is often the norm. ____ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
