[Guest guest]

Light and Love

 

"Song of my life" continues with author's wish to be ever in the Embrace of

His Presence and the Lord's answer to her request.

 

CHAPTER XX

 

So peaceful I become when I enjoy Your Company So filled with Bliss I

feel when aware of Your Presence Complexities dissolve in the Superb

Simplicity of Being and noise fades away in the Melody of Your Song To

be forever nestled in the Embrace of Your Presence is my only wish ...

 

The Lord responds: "Never are you anywhere else but in My Embrace

Together we spend every hour of each day Single Togetherness Dual Joy

Blissful are the days when you are aware of this Linger on the festivity

of such a day Enhance your inner beauty

with the glorious anticipation of this celebration In this one-pointed

thought you do not encounter others Envisioning an outer scene can be very

helpful Watch as we dwell for a moment on the following picture: upon

awakening you recall with joy My invitation to come and spend the day on My

Temple-grounds Quickly and quietly you prepare yourself for this

momentous occasion Meticulous care you give to your outer appearance,

knowing that no loving preparation will go unnoticed

Keen to keep the mind clean you leave it uncluttered by hazy thoughts

about circumstances and people Well-focussed on My beckoning Presence

you make your way to My Temple-ground where the guards without hesitation

open the gates for you The Holy Grounds, uncrowded by others, bask in

Sacred Silence Auspiciousness pervades all space and with your heart

filled with reverence you take your seat and gently lean against one of

the mighty pillars Watching the play of the birds your soul sings of

contentment Timeless becomes your awareness as forms and frames seem to

become drawn up in the All-ness of this state Then ... the soft rustling

of My Robe alerts you of My coming Perfectly united within we now

treasure without limits the sight of one another, clothed with the

expression of manifestation A simple glance is enough to bring you full

forgetfulness and raise you to the level of supreme exaltation

Worlds are suspended as you are now allowed to glimpse into My Glory

 

Very subtly we become engaged in the Dance between the Form and the

Formless Ever more alive becomes My Formless Embrace as you embrace

formlessly My Form Ever more heightened becomes your awareness of Bliss

in the immediateness of My Presence, the flaming of My orange Robe

immersing you gradually in the Full Brightness of My Sun Celestial

music plays almost escaping your ear as all your senses become one in their

focus Suddenly its melody blends in with the totality of your perception

and effortlessly you behold the Magic of the Music's Tale as it reveals

the apparent attraction between different notes, the louder ones being

echoed by the soft ones Like the Call of the Beloved calling out to the

lover, the endless play of the Magnet of Love, the ceaseless theme of

Creation Creator calling the created one The audible expression of the

Divine coupled with the visible expression of My Form lifts you to

unspeakable heights Utterly still your soul soars to the dimension-less

state and in rapture supreme it sways to the Melody of Bliss I slip out

of sight, silence reigns but the sweet Mystery of My Presence remains

No action calls upon you

other than the longing to hold on to this unveiling of My Glorious

Glory Soothingly you caress the beads of your japamala and your

consciousness delves

ever deeper into My Nature Divine as you silently speak My Name

Hunger or thirst cease to announce themselves In this bright awareness you

spend this hourless day Before the sun sets I once again appear and

walk slowly over the grounds Perfect clarity prevails as Love has

profoundly purified your senses Supremely enjoying Love, silently

celebrating Its Might we exchange smiles, which speak of the wordless

wonder of this day captured in the grip of Eternity Never leaving,

never coming,

always being Scarcely aware of your physical frame you now part

from the Temple-grounds and find your way home Anciently new

you playfully resume the role of the individual

 

Such is a day spent with Me Unblemished by a thought of the self

Fully attentive of the Divine Immersed in the Simplicity of Truth

Entering the Glory of My Love"

A thought inspired by verses

 

In this chapter has outlined that Jeannette receives inspiration from real

image of Swami participating at His Darshan. In fact, in the world today are

many spiritual gurus, who communicate nearly the same wisdom. There are also

many books written about ancient saints, their teachings, Vedic insights and

truths. The modern science has reached near to several explanations in Vedas

have given.

However, anyone of today's gurus, books, modern science are not the

carriers of the direct, indescribable stream of Divine vibrations which

proceeds from Swami's personality, image, speech and from books with His

discourses, Vahini serial or even books, written about Swami. It is the pure

whirl of Divine energy what inspires, as calls to the Atmic enlightenment. On

this stage the Divine as enlarges and covers all the universe. "Song of My

Life" is a beautiful example of this experience, possible to express through

words.
