Song of My Life. Chapter XXVI. A preface to it.

[Guest guest]

Light and Love

The last chapter tells Jeannette's attempt to express the Divine Love

poetically in words. The whole poem serves as guideline to the wordless song of

silence of the Omnipresent and Omnipotent Love what dwells (mostly in hidden

form as some potency) in anyone's heart. Swami's incarnation and his Teaching

with the fluid of indescribable strong vibrations is the Light for humanity on

the way to the divinity within and everywhere in the Universe. To acknowledge

this, a human being will reach to the Truth that he/she himself reflects the

Divine play of existence. Never forget and close your heart, brain and eyes

before this Light represented by Swami's incarnation and His personality.

 

CHAPTER XXVI

 

O Supremacy of Love,

how foolish has been my ignorance of Your Existence

Out of Love I was created In Love I shall spend my days

 

Love so perfect Love Sublime Absolute Love in utter stillness I

now listen to Your Secret Earthly Love is still filled with trickery and

displays the Game of give-and-take marking separate territories, setting

up rules and regulations, binding one another by expectations,

frustrations and conditions Love Divine, however, does not tolerate

the Burden of Game for It is the Embodiment of the Play of ever-full Joy

Here one does not stretch out one's hand hoping to receive something for

in Perfect Love there is only the Joy

of holding hands in an ever-expanding Field of Togetherness The

necessity to voice one's needs does not exist in this Land of Fluid Gold

for the Harmony of Love is ever complete and lacks nothing

 

Hollow flattering words of affection are superfluous, they reduce

the natural state of Depthless Love to a fabricated scene When Love

ceases to find words how can a desire be expressed? How can a pleading

prayer surface? Perfect Love never seeks answers for questions do not

arise There is no room for reassurance in Perfect Love Pure Love finds

only Pure Love as Its reward It has no motive Beyond the Realm of

Words

lies the Perfection of Love Infinitely content in Its Sublime Stillness

Eternal is this Love It does not reach for Tomorrow hoping for

fulfillment It does not need Yesterday for the ideal memory for Now

presents the Joy of Perfection

 

Perfection of Love Is, Has Been and always Will Be

In the Light of this Certainty all action ceases and Love Divine bursts

forth Pure in Its Simplicity Simple in Its Purity is the Fire of

Limitless Love

 

O Brilliance of Love Supreme You consume all concepts Your

spreading Fire scorches all limits Love celebrating Love bringing the

shoreless Bounty of Joy

 

O Formless Love bewitching is Your Form All senses I lose when

embraced by Your Radiance, enraptured by the silken touch of Bliss Divine

Loving the Invisible the Visible becomes invisible

 

Highest Glory of all Glories is this Gift of Love The Exposure to the

Fullness of Love puts to shame for all time petty thoughts The

Brightness of this all-powerful Sun evaporates the stormy torments of

worldly life forever more This fiery Diamond of Truth Absolute devours

the faint sparkles of a dimly lit relative existence

 

Humbled by Your Presence I lay down my existence

 

The end of poem "Song of My Life" written by Jeannette Caruth and printed

to the group by handwritten copy (what is not original but certainly near to

it) chapter by chapter with excerpts from Swami's books, discourses and

personal notes, thoughts what are appeared as from nowhere.

 

PS: The path towards enlightenment for me is more easy to follow not only

by receiving the Divine Grace through praying, giving in return the inner faith

to the Lord. I try to realise the divine spark within through understanding the

Reality and expanding Swami's Teaching from the angle of different insights and

thoughts. The ways towards Divine Enlightenment are too different and all are

welcome, as Swami has stressed in His many discourses.

(If someone have to me some questions concern to the serial mails with 26

chapters of "Song of my Life," I can answer only in the beginning of November,

no earlier).
