Guru Gita vs 109

[Guest guest]

Dear Ones,

 

Today we are at verse 109.

 

The verse

The eternal supreme divinity beyond form and attributes is known as

the Supreme. Within all is the inexplicable supreme divinity, just as

all lights are illuminated by one light.

The comments are taken from the Bhagavad Gita pp 155 thru' 157:

 

"...... Having thus spoken, oh King, the Great Lord of Union, Remover

of Duality, showed His Supreme Imperishable form to Son of She Who

Excels (Arjuna). ........

If the light of a thousand rising suns were to unite in the sky, the

light would not compare to the light of that great soul. Then the

Son of He Who is without Prejudice (Arjuna) saw the many divisions of

the entire universe residing in one, the body of the God of Gods.

 

Clarity of Pure Devotion said -

I see in your body, Oh God, all of the Gods, and also the multitude of

all individual beings. The Lord Creative Consciousness seated on a

lotus, the sages and all divine serpents representing energies of

existence.

 

Please share your thoughts.

Dear Kalia,

Thank you for posting the verse and the comments from Bhagavad Gita.

 

I dont have anything to add except what I read today in "I Am That" -

Conversations with Nisargadatta Maharaj.

 

=========Begin Excerpt===============

Question : What is the experience which comes nearest to the

Supreme ?

 

Nisargadatta Maharaj : Immense peace and boundless love. Realize

that whatever there is true, noble and beautiful in the universe, it

all comes from you, that you yourself are at the source of it...

 

Question : How does one reach the Supreme State ?

 

Nisargadatta Maharaj : By renouncing all lesser desires. As long as

you are pleased with the lesser, you cannot have the highest .

Whatever pleases you, keeps you back. Until you realize the

unsatisfactoriness of everything, its transiency and limitation, and

collect your energies in one great longing, even the first step is

not made. On the other hand, the integrity of the desire for the

Supreme is by itself a call from the Supreme. Nothing , physical or

mental, can give you freedom. You are free once you understand that

your bondage is of your own making and you cease forging the chains

that bind you.

 

===============End excerpt ========================

 

May we all experience that immense peace and boundless love.

Namaste

Nanda,

 

Rather, may we all learn to "...cease forging the chains that bind

[us]."

 

Jai Maa!
