From Swami Ramdas

Om Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram

 

It is not the recitation of the Gita that can elevate you to the Truth of your existence, namely, God, but a profound meditation on the truths inculcated in the Slokas.

All sacred texts,

Are match-boxes.

Each true statement –

A single match stick.

No need to burn

The whole box of sticks

To start a bonfire.

Suffice to light one match

Striking it on the stone

Of direct experience.

Likewise

Enough to follow and apply 

But one instruction

Wholeheartedly…

Tended diligently

With loving care,

The fire that you light

Can easily burn and incinerate

All the world of illusion

To ashes.

 

 

shabbat shalom all,

yosy
