Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Dear all, here's a poem I read today. I'd like to share it with you, especially those of you who may be going through some rough patches right now: Even the deepest darkness of this world is simply her light! Will the blessed day ever dawn, O Goddess, when fiery tears stream from these eyes upon uttering your exalted name? Will subtle obscurations of the mind dissolve, as this body dances and tumbles on the ground in the boundless ecstasy of Kali, Kali, Kali? Will the day of truth finally arrive when I cast away every distinction, free from this and that, here and there? Will the immense longing of my soul be fulfilled? Esoteric scriptures of the Goddess declare: "Ma Tara is utterly formless, She is clear light beyond all form." This poet madly responds: "Mother exists also as each life, every event. Open your foolish eyes, cease formless meditation, and perceive the Goddess everywhere! Even the deepest darkness of this world is simply her light!" The poem is one of Ramprasad's, in Lex Hixon's translation. I pray our eyes may be opened to the vision of Her light, with love, henny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
