Emotions

I long for that day I sing your praise I wait for those few moments of exertion I long for those minutes of ecstacy Singing out your name amidst your devotees Oh Lord Your name gives so much joy My twisted mind just stops and cries When I hear Your name Oh Lord Yet I know I am so lowly to reach You Is there any pleasure Oh Lord that Brings out the pinnacle of emotions Is there a word Oh Lord That breaks free the shackled thoughts of Love Oh Lord thy name is That I think As I long again and again to sing of Yet I neither have the voice nor the knowledge Of singing Your praise Oh Shiva Thy feet They tap the rhythms with Thy gait Thy anklets the snakes hiss in ecstacy Thy dumuru They evoke life from slumbering ignorance Thy primordial fire burns up the lust and thoughts of Thy devotess I seek Thee for freedom I seek Thee for Joy I plead Thy name shamelessly Oh Lover Oh Destroyer of ALL Sarvam Shivamayam Jagat Isha vasyam Idam Sarvam As You burn Me I become Thee Aham Brahmasmi... Om Tat Sa...

The gap between You and i does not exist. It is but a notion of distance as distance is space and space - Akasha is You. This notion is but a lack of understanding. There is a notional faith in You. Faith is there when You and i are different. When space is You, then Sarvam - All is You. Distance is You, hence there is NO distance. What is far is near as Akasha is You. Hence where is the question of Faith. There MUST be ONLY LOVE. It is only possible to see SARVAM as LOVE. When distance - Akasha - Space is but ONE where is the OTHER. There is nothing else to compare with; nothing else with which to be judged; nothing but one infinite presence conscious of nothing but itself...Sat- Chit- Ananda Show me LOVE. Let this ONENESS seep into every pore of my being that this notional difference disappear. Let me realize and BE the TRUTH THAT i seek. That which I seek cannot be other than me as I cannot be OTHER than Thee. There cannot be infinity minus me. I am THEE - Aham Brahmasmi.... Let the...

Measuring myself by that standard I must exclaim with Surdas : Where is there a wretch So wicked and loathsome as I ? I have forsaken my Maker, So faithless have I been. For it is an unbroken torture to me that I am still so far from Him, who, as I fully know, governs every breath of my life, and whose offspring I am. I know that it is the evil passions within that keep me so far from Him, and yet I cannot get away from them. The Story of My Experiments with Truth M. K. Gandhi The Ashram, Sabarmati, Ahmedabad. 26th November, 1925

Is there something called Love That is separate from who we are Is there moments that are seen Where we disconnect with Love Has there been any occasion Where Love turned her eyes away In every instance, in every act There can be no event Without the Touch of Love Every act that has, Is and shall be Is filled with Love to the brim That, one gets immersed in the act Only to realize later that Love was around Only held back by our greed Only strained by thoughts of lust Only touched by the sin of ignorance And Love strikes back as tears As a force unparalleled Unchageable and unique Only realized when thoughts withdraw into who we are.. Never can there be a moment ,An act that lies unconnected to Love As Love is He, Love Is who we are.. Om Tat Sat

As the mind expands towards the Infinite including everything good, bad, tall, short, clean, unclean, big and small, there envelops a peace so serene that Divinity manifests in every thought. Purnatvam - Fulness takes shape as a concept - first and subsequently a meaning and finally as reality. This all inclusiveness brings about an acceptance of all that was, is and shall be. Time, space and matter resolves into the here and now as the percieved. The entire Universe appears as a projection on the screen of consciousness. Like a dream the Universe merges with the Infinite on the realization of Onself as Awareness. Eternal peace is all that remains. Purnatvam I am .. Om Tat Sat

Thoughts are the best creators in humanity. Matter and energy are insentient. Thoughts, the flame of sentience, are far above both. They have the power to live through generations and still be vibrant and overwhelming. Swamiji - Narayanashrama Tapovanam
