Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 My thanks to yogaman and Amarthya for their incisive comments. As Amarthya pointed out, it's night, not dusk, when the truly heinous seems to emerge. However, in the spirit of understanding what yogaman and others have said, I offer the beautiful Christian hymn, "Abide with Me--'Tis Eventide." I often understand things better in the Christian context, and I can understand it better as it is expressed in the words of this hymn. I think it's human nature to fear the coming of the darkness, whatever context it is placed within. With love, Jyotsna Abide with Me--'Tis Eventide Abide with me; 'tis eventide. The day is past and gone; The shadows of the evening fall; The night is coming on. Within my heart a welcome guest, Within my home abide. O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, 'tis eventide. O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, 'tis eventide. Abide with me; 'tis eventide, And lone will be the night If I cannot commune with thee, Nor find in thee my light. The darkness of the world, I fear, Would in my home abide. O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, 'tis eventide. O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, 'tis eventide. Abide with me; 'tis eventide. Thy walk today with me Has made my heart within me burn, As I communed with thee. Thy earnest words have filled my soul And kept me near thy side. O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, 'tis eventide. O Savior, stay this night with me; Behold, 'tis eventide.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Namah Shivaya Jyotsna, There's a similar bhajan in Amma's song too- "Pakalantiyil ettum neram"- literally means - " The evening has come, My Mother hasnt returned, I am scared to be alone..." bala "E.
