Nature and Consciousness MOUNTAIN, FISH AND TREE ?

[Guest guest]

On these hot summer evenings , i take great delight in reading

the 'cool' verses written by Shri Anandaji, an esteemed disciple of

Shri Atmanandaji.

 

Shastryji asks in all his innocence

 

(What about a Mounten(mountain?) ? what abou a fish in a sea?

What about a big tree? are they all not belong BRAHMAN.

Do they all possess all the 4 states ?

plz explain more clearly)

 

May i please recall this verse from Sri Anandaji which says it all

in this beautiful language of poetry?

 

Not for a single moment does

*illuminating* consciousness

depart from the appearances

of Nature's manifesting show.

 

Thus consciousness, which lights up all

appearances, and nature , where appearances arise. are not

in truth two different principles.

 

Though mind may somehow think of them

as two opposing principles,

they never can be known apart .

They are not two , but only one.

 

Reflecting thus , the mind dissolves ,

returned to its own changeless source:

 

found living unconditioned here ,

as 'mother' nature's true self

and as that unmixed consciousness

which people worship as the 'Lord'

 

Apart from knowing consciousness,

all nature disappears at once.

The two are never known apart:

they are not two , but only one.

 

Thus nature's life is nothing less

than the same principle called 'God'

pure unconditioned consciousness

which is each person's real self .

Shastryji, why did Sri Ramana worship 'Arunachala'?

 

Why did Sri Ramakrishna had whiplashes on the back of his body when

some cows grazed on a grass in panchavati ?

 

ponder and wonder ?
