Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Paramhansa Yoganada Quotes Mirabai in his "Autobiography of a Yogi" : "If by bathing daily God could be realized Sooner would I be a whale in the deep; If by eating roots and fruits He could be known Gladly would I choose the form of a goat; If the counting of rosaries uncovered Him I would say my prayers on mammoth beads; If bowing before stone images unveiled Him A flinty mountain I would humbly worship; If by drinking milk the Lord could be imbibed Many calves and children would know Him; If abandoning one's wife would summon God Would not thousands be eunuchs? Mirabai knows that to find the Divine One The only indispensable is Love." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Namaste. _/\_ This reminds us the valuable Sanskrit quote from Scriptures with same purport: mInAH snAna parAH phaNI pavana bhuk meSazcaparNAzano, nIrAzaH khalu cAtako hi nitarAM zete bile mUSakaH bhasmod dhUlana tatparazca hi kharo dhyAnAnurakto baka ste sarve nahi yAnti mokSapadavIM bhaktiM vinA zrI hare (quoted in 'Prema Rasa Siddhant' by Jagadguru Sri Kripaluji Maharaj) According to Saint Kabir, the Divine Love is expressed through the Power of Lord's Name.... If union with God be obtained by going about naked, All the beasts of the forest shall be saved! What does it matter whether man goes naked Or wears a deerskin, If he does not recognize God in his heart? If perfection be obtained by shaving the head, Why should not sheep obtain salvation? If the continent man is saved, Why should not a eunuch obtain the supreme reward? Says Kabir, "Hear, O my brothers and sisters. Who has obtained salvation without the Lord's Name?" - Kabir Jaya Sri Radhey! , jigyasa02 <no_reply> wrote: > > Paramhansa Yoganada Quotes Mirabai in his "Autobiography of a Yogi" : > > "If by bathing daily God could be realized > Sooner would I be a whale in the deep; > If by eating roots and fruits He could be known > Gladly would I choose the form of a goat; > If the counting of rosaries uncovered Him > I would say my prayers on mammoth beads; > If bowing before stone images unveiled Him > A flinty mountain I would humbly worship; > If by drinking milk the Lord could be imbibed > Many calves and children would know Him; > If abandoning one's wife would summon God > Would not thousands be eunuchs? > Mirabai knows that to find the Divine One > The only indispensable is Love." > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
