Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Chrisji, I enjoyed your comments on verses 115 and 116 very much. I was reminded of a poem by Mahadeviyakka, which you may or may not know. I copied it anyway: 'When I did not know myself where were you? Like the colour in the gold you were in me. I saw in you, lord white as jasmine, the paradox of your being in me without showing a limb.' with love, Henny , "Chris Kirner" <chriskirner1956> wrote: > Kalia, > > This is just what I was talking about.
