Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 In Dense Darkness,O Mother by Swami Vivekananda "In dense darkness, O Mother, Thy formless beauty sparkles; Therefore the yogis meditate in a dark mountain cave. In the lap of boundless dark, on Mahanirvana's waves unborn, Peace flows serene and inexhaustible. Taking the form of the Void, in the robe of darkness wrapped, Who art Thou, Mother, seated alone in the shrine of samadhi? >From the Lotus of Thy fear-scattering Feet flash Thy love's lightnings; Thy Spirit-Face shines forth with laughter terrible and loud!"

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Kalia, This is the verse that completes the arc of discipleship. From the beginning of the Guru Gita, where we are introduced to the Guru as "the divine Cause of perceivable existence," and as "the Supreme Divinity and no other," we follow an arc of awakening that finds its culmination here, "unite[ing] the individual soul with the Supreme Soul of existence." In between, we are given the practices of remembering the feet of the guru, constantly remembering the guru, repeating the guru mantra, intuiting only the attitude of the guru, and no other, and meditating on the guru, along with the path of the guru, in various ways, in the crown of the head and in the heart, and as the Supreme Divinity, Shiva. Having purified the mind, the wisdom of one's own soul arises in the heart, and one finds "he alone is established everywhere." In this state, one recites the Guru Gita in every situation. Finally, one is able to let go of the container, the last vestige of individual separation, and one is merged in the ocean of undifferentiated Brahman, the Guru Itself. The disciple has truly become the Guru, by the grace of the Guru. "May the respected Guru's divine perception eternally be fixed upon [us]." Jai Gurudeva! Jai Maa!

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Thanks Chrisji. At this stage the disciple has awakened to the knowledge that birth, death and old age are only of the body and not of the soul. There is no you and me, no separateness, no attachment to the body only pure consciousness. KaliaChris Kirner <chriskirner1956 > wrote: Kalia,This is the verse that completes the arc of discipleship.
