Song of Samadhi

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Following is the inspired poem by our beloved swamiji. It is nothing

less to upanishad or Mahavakyas of the vedanta. The true import of

which can only be understood after enlightenment.

 

THE HYMN OF SAMADHI

 

 

(Rendered from Bengali)

 

Lo! The sun is not, nor the comely moon,

 

All light extinct; in the great void of space

 

Floats shadow - like the image - universe.

 

In the void of mind involute, there floats

 

The fleeting universe, rises and floats,

 

Sinks again, ceaseless, in the current " I " .

 

Slowly, slowly, the shadow - multitude

 

Entered the primal womb, and flowed ceaseless,

 

The only current, the " I am " , " I am " .

 

Lo! 'Tis stopped, ev'n that current flows no more,

 

Void merged into void -- beyond speech and mind

 

Whose heart understands, he verily does.

 

 

In subsequent posts i will try my best to show the simsilarity of

the sacred upanishadic teachings and this masterpiece of Swamiji.

 

JAI JAI RAGHUVEER SAMARTHA

 

Yours in the lord,
