Perhaps some scholars know how to fit in the above 2 verses with the rest of the Gita.

"Difficult asana" is an oxymoron.

Streetdog

God's Form is Unlimited

That is why you cant understand It

Some worship a Formless God

Which they cant understand

matchless gifts

thank you, Mahak

you are also giving me the courage

to post some of my longer poems

instead of just impromptu haiku

and safe repartee.

Please see thread

"Belated Birthday Presents"

on Krishna Talk forum

Kind Regards

PRESENT

I have a present for you

I don't know what it is

If only you would receive me

I would know what to give

Surely, receiving does not rest on need

For even as the hive overflows with honey

the bees are out with the flowers

- perhaps this is some pagan rite of power

That friendship feeds on and on

way beyond the logic of need

I have a present for you

I don't know what it is

and I am dying because of this

If only I knew you needed it

I could give it and be freed

Perhaps giving does not rest on need

For I have seen summer rain fall on an angry sea

Even as flooded rivers fed it

- surely, this is nature's song of plenty

That supply flows on and on

and exceeds the demands of greed

I have a present for you

I don't know what it is

but I am blinded by it

If only you would open it

I would see again and live.

(a poem penned, in 1997, under Talasiga's "real" name)

In the same way, speech alone,

even a deluge of words, with scholarship and skill in commenting on the scriptures, may achieve some personal satisfaction but not liberation.

from *(Viveka-Chudamani)* by Sri Sankara

 

Yep !

Shankara sure does know his subject.

From personal experience no doubt

At some point I feel it is necessary to try and understand the emotional component

These emotions are the substance of the soul

Those who turn towards the Divine

see the illumination within them

Those who turn away

see shadows

The Vallabhi-s host many spiritual masters

With their art of Raag music

they explore these emotions

to their very Source

Have you heard this mysterious music

Played at different times of the day

Or might you have seen It

In that One Glance

of Abhay Charan De ?

Not the others!

 

Talasiga did not say this.

Talasiga says that VanaMali

finds those who know Brahman,

but Talasiga's aphorism

is silent on the "others".

VanaMali's findings

are not automatically limited

by the sayings of those that are found

or those that are waiting to be found.

Before the experience of Brahman, any elaborate network of words is similar to a thick forest where the mind might get lost in wandering endlessly!.

All experience is in Brahman

None beyond It

VanaMali,

Lord of the Forest,

Finds those who know It

In my opinion, christianity is just some type of impersonalism disguised as devotional service by modern day Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada followers. In other words: False religion. The latter have converted in into a superior path back to Godhead. IT"S NOT.
