~*~ Among thousands of human beings Scarcely one strives for perfection Among thousands of faithful strivers Scarcely one realizes God within! In truth; the earth, water, fire, air, ether Mind, intellect and egotism are God's eight Fold nature which is inferior; but different From this; God’s higher nature, the supreme Consciousness exists; by which the whole Universe is supported. ~*~ From the two types of His nature All beings are created in the nature. He is the origin & supporter of the world There is naught else existing higher than him; Like the pearls on a thread This entire universe is strung in God. He is the sapidity in waters and radiance in Sun and Moon and He is the eternal sound "OM" by which the entire ether is pervaded. ~*~ In all beings He exists as self consciousness He is the sacred fragrance of the earth, Brilliance of fire and He is the life of beings Know Him as the eternal seed of all beings. He is the intellect of the intelligent and Prowess of the powerful and of the strong He is strength, devoid of desires and Attachments; He is also the desire in men Unopposed to righteousness or righteous duty. But He is unmanifest to all beings veiled by Multiplicity of the world, His inferior nature. ~*~ All beings at birth fall into delusion caused By pairs of opposites arising from desire and Aversion; deluded by senses and egoistic qualities We know Him not the unborn and immutable. But those men of virtuous deeds whose sins have Come to an end, freed from pairs of opposites Seek Him with firm resolve, having taken refuge In Him, strive to attain freedom from the bonds Of old age and death, they only know God, The self of the universe and the entire realm of action divine! ~*~ AUM~*~ * This is the essence of one of the chapters of Srimad Bhagavad Gita ( The Song Eternal). -venkat © *2009* Revised with graphics.
