Song of My Life by Jeannette Caruth. Chapter XVII and a thought

[Guest guest]

Light and Love

"Song of my life" continues with assimilation in the current of the

Omnipresent Divine which patterns carries whole mayaa reality with its objects

and creatures. Only a human being is capable to be conscious of this.

 

CHAPTER XVII

 

Ever more transparent becomes the solidity of earthly life when we

thirstily drink in Your Words Your unwavering Care does not tolerate a halt

This perpetual expression of Grace tells us tirelessly about the

unbroken Flow of Eternity seeking to seal the solid belief in Its merciful

Limitlessness Its depthless Well of well-being, its shoreless Ocean of

Love

 

He tells me: "The true understanding of Infinity instantly erases all

concern The borders of your 'territory' quickly evaporate and the ever

expanding width of your horizon suddenly releases the contracted fear into

Waves of Unsullied Love

So very precious is this Awareness of Endlessness and so eager is She

to be grasped by you Live like the new-born baby Be like the naked

child, unaware of the exaggerated needs for comfort, oblivious to the

concerns of time, spontaneously dwelling in contentment

 

Consider for a moment the life of the wandering sannyasi His life-style

seeks one-pointedly the Sublimity of Faith No money he holds No food he

brings

No remnants he saves No clothes he carries Never in one place he

stays He knows only Me as his Provider Unburdening himself of all

burdens of concern, eased by this flow of effortlessness, he becomes

delightfully empty Noisy needs of the mind silently fade away and with

ever new joy does he encounter the bliss of My companionship It is in

this utter nakedness freed from compelling anxieties where he so

clearly perceives My constant Helpfulness, My instant Care The

'Totalness' of My attention Discovering these jewels of My motherly Love

he quickly enters the green pastures of genuine Gratitude where the Stream

of Pure Love flows easily uniting him spontaneously with My Being

 

Grand are the present days for in this Kali Age the necessity of

becoming a sannyasi is no longer necessary ... Close to the surface are

the depths you seek Just stand still awhile and look Wrap yourself in

bold nakedness and let this be the robe of the sannyasi Carry My Name

ever on your lips and let this be the staff you hold Hope to find the

Wealth of My Companionship

and let this be your only concern

Nothing can touch you in the outer world for you will be wearing

the invisible garment of the renunciant Then shall we walk together

undetected by the worldly eye and overjoyed by the discovery of My

Boundless Concern for your soul you too shall know the intoxicating Nectar

of Gratitude Gratitude stills the senses

and the humbleness of its humility ripens sweet surrender Surrender

brings Freedom for the awareness of your state of utter dependence

takes away the notion of doership

Only in this state can you withstand the Fullness of My Vision The

purity of Absolute Nakedness alone can assimilate the Current of the Divine

The new born child does not speculate

nor does it entertain conclusions or is absorbed by expectations

Fully trusting, doubtless, timeless Its consciousness untarnished

Without possessions it came, without possessions it shall leave carried

on My Breath it shall live seeking everything it shall have nothing, seeking

nothing, it shall have everything Be the naked child and let Me cradle

you, nurse you

with the Nectar of My Love clothe you with the Embrace of My

Effulgence"

A thought inspired by verses

 

Often happens that a human being does not wish to discover the hidden

divinity in him/her. Instead of seeking the Self, most humans wish to seek the

wild sensations what based on uncontrolled and shady facts. The demonic

attribute the human's uncontrolled mind as delights in whatsoever negative

information without any analyses is it true or not or largely exaggerated.

Jeannette's verses are an example to a human being to turn the vision

towards divinity inside. She discovers the divinity through inner contemplation

with Swami, his Omnipresent Form what leads her back to herself, to her inner

divine Self.
