Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Mind, why art thou so anxious? Utter KÄlÄ«'s name, and sit in meditation. From all this pomp of worship the mind grows proud. Worship her in secret, that none may know. What is thy gain from images of metal, stone or earth? Fashion her image with the stuff of mind, and set it on the lotus-throne of your heart. Parched rice and plantains, ah! how vainly do you offer these! Feed her with the nectar of devotion, and satisfy your own mind. Why seek to illumine her with lamp and lantern and candle? Light the jewelled lamp of the mind, let it flash its lustre day and night. Why do you bring sheep and goats and buffaloes for sacrifice? Saying 'Victory to KÄlÄ«,' 'Victory to KÄlÄ«,' sacrifice the Six Passions. PrasÄd says: What need is there of drums and tomtoms? Saying, 'Victory to KÄlÄ«,' clap your hands and lay your mind at her Feet. Ramprasad Sen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
