Truth Path I

[Guest guest]

Om Namah Sivaya

 

Sri Ramakrishna’s saying: ‘Adopt adequate means for

the end you seek to attain. You cannot get butter by

crying yourself hoarse, saying, “There is butter in

the milk.” If you wish to get butter, turn the milk

into curd and churn it well, and then you will have

butter. So if you long to see God, take to spiritual

practices. What is the good of merely crying, “O God!

O God!”?’

 

Tirumantiram (verse 1547): Definition of Truth Path

He is Light within you;

To know how to reach Him

Is True Path of Becoming;

If you know thus,

You know contradiction none;

That is the Path Supreme, Your Goal’s End;

They are but folks poor in spirit

That know not merging in Light Divine.

 

Tirumantiram(verse 1548):Worldly Path is not True Path

There is a True Path for the Journey;

They that follow the swampy paths worldly

See but the mirage;

They that avoid the sorrowful path of swirling karma

Cross evil safe;

And shall sure worship at Lord’s Feet.

 

Tirumantiram(verse 1549):

True Path Leads Straight to Lord’s Presence

 

Walking in the True Path

Your holiness consummates;

The host of thine Karmaic deeds scatters

And they flee away;

Leave you the tortuous path

Of the Karmaic ridden men of world

Onward you journey, straight inside;

Thou shall, for certain, stand

In the Presence of the Lord of Heavenly Beings.
