Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 " Oh, mind, learn to become the Lord's. With Ganga waters of tears that overflow from the eyes, ever wash the Lord's feet. " Regardless of how many sense objects you have accumulated, not one has ever been of any use to you. Each and every thing you considered dear has caused you anguish. You have wasted your entire life acquiring. Now learn to lose. " Your desires have now become a burden; they are drawing lines of sorrow. Why do you cry in bondage, when it was you yourself who architected all your boundaries? Where will you find liberation, if you don't stop sowing the seeds of action? " In the bhajan's final verse, Amma offered a way out of the seemingly inescapable and never-ending cycle of desire and action: " See all actions in this world as His. Meditate upon Him in all actions. He is the one who creates and the one who destroys. Time and space are His. " And then finally came the fruit of such a vision: " Each moment in this life is sahaja sam & #257;dhi 2. Where then is waking and sleeping? " By the time Amma finished singing, the chai was ready, the sun had set and everything was dark. Amma got back into her camper and continued heading north to Hyderabad. How fortunate everyone was to have her as their guide. 2Total, natural and effortless absorption in the supreme truth that everything inside and out is nothing but pure blissful consciousness—regardless of whether one is sleeping, dreaming, walking or talking.
