Swami Sivananda Vani - 14

[Guest guest]

HERE RAINS NECTAR

 

My heart drinks the nectar now, I have plunged myself in that ocean

of joy, I have drunk the cup of immortal bliss. There is neither

doubt nor sorrow here. The terror of death is no more. There is the

sweet fragrance of the soul. The music of the soul sounds itself.

Supreme freedom reigns here, Brilliant effulgence streams forth,

There is the unstruck, sweet melody of harmony. This is the

sorrowless land of an old man. The thirst of the five senses is

quenched here. Here the rain of nectar pours and pours, The sacred

stream of the Jamnaganga Flows here perennially. The round of births

and deaths ceases here. Come, come my sweet companions, Visit this

limitless domain but once And see my supreme Lord's Durbar (court).

 

---So says Sivananda.

 

OCEAN OF SWEETNESS

 

I have found the key of the mystery. There is wonderful rest in the

land of bliss. Wonderful is the sorrowless land. It is an infinite

ocean of sweetness. Look within and rest peacefully. The three forms

of misery are no more, The five kinds of afflictions are not here.

One becomes speechless and silent There is stupendous silence. The

seer, seen and sight have become one. The knower, known and knowable

are one. There is the divine music of the supreme harmony Without the

play of fingers and strings. One enjoys freedom and perfection. Bliss

is filled to the very brim. I have realized oneness
