Guest guest Posted April 8, 2002 Report Share Posted April 8, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: Bhajan 1 Koham koham kohamaho kastvam kimidam kim tadaho Drashtaivaaham drishyo deho matto bhinnah kudyamiva Bhaataa chaaham bhaasyo deho matto bhinnah kalasha iva 1 Kaashthaagnee tou miltou yadyapi daahaka vahnirna hi kaashtham Soham deho milito yadyapi noonam dehaat prithagasmi 2 Nidra vivashe dehe satyapi yadvaa vigata praana kale Na prativachanam sa hi sandatte tasmaat scahidaanandosmi 3 Who am I? Who am I? Who am I? Who are you? What is this? I am the 'seer'. The body is the 'seen'. Just as the wall (that is 'seen'), the body is different from 'I'. I am effulgent. The body is that which is 'illuminated' by me. Therefore, the body is different from me just as the pot (which is illuminated) is different from light. Although fire and wood seem to be one, the fire that burns the wood is different from the wood itself. Similarly, although the body and 'I' seem to exist together, 'I' am different from the body. When the body is resting in the deep sleep state or when the life departs from the body, the body ceases to respond. Therefore, 'I' am of the form of sachchidananda.
