" You must be a Light unto Yourself....in a World that is utterly Dark "

Krishnamurti

............................................................................................

 

Lord Krishna, Infinite One

maintain me in the Way

enlighten me with the Vedas

and light my path with the Gita

Hare Rama, Hare Krishna

great energy and Brahman

fill me with the spirit of God

and I will secretly converse

with the Supersoul in my heart

Govinda, Govinda, Absolute Truth

enrapture my being, and fill my senses

with the perfume of your wisdom

admonish me, as you did Arjuna

to fight for victory, and conquer fear

Goddess Radha, teach me the meaning of real love

that devotion which surpasses all others

I want nothing for myself

but to be a lamp for others

for to guide their feet

and direct their steps

to attain union with the Supreme Being

and be one with the Godhead

teach me that when the Self is slain

then Divinity is released

I ...I who have nothing

then possesses and am possessed by infinity

for I came into this World naked

and I will exit the same way

everything else in between is not mine

and can never be

I rest assured

as I am ransomed

by He that created me

Peter I agree with Aberjhani! Also this is a glorious affirmation of Creator's spirit in all of his creation without reservation! Everyone has the breath of God in them, only those who choose to ignore it are the losers, but of denominations God plays no part in their divisions! They are man made!Thank you for another splendid uplifting write!

If you have wisdom, let others light their candle by it. I am one of those who thinks that Buddhist cosmology anticipates what contemporary science has empirically discovered, that being astronomical time and space, from macrocosm to microscosm. From the infinite to the infinitesimal, we find the same uncanny prescience where Buddhists are teaching that everything corporeal is impermanent because constituted to dharmas as miniscule in duration as they are in space---remarkably like the fleeting blips that particles register on the scientists' oscilloscopes. Zen comes as a reminder that if we do not learn to perceive the mystery and beauty of our present life, our present hour, we shall not perceive the worth of any life, or any hour. Continue on with your goal of enlightenment, Peter. Fantastic way to zazen!

A truly stunning song of spiritual passion, grace, and humility. As these lines celebrate the hopes and devotion of expanded consciousness, they invite the heart of the reader to step inside the beauty of the wonder. A blessed meditation and superb write all rolled into one.

"My sweet Lord". You want to know Him and in reaching for sight in that dark night, you find illumination and cannot help but share this golden light. "The One, "The Golden Jewel", "All That Is", "I Am", "The Creator", "Absolute Truth" is the constant among all faiths and paths. Utterly beautiful and transcendant in its wisdom, Peter...

Why can't we all exist with this enlightened rhythm? Harmony would be just a hum away...all of us would be smiling and there would be no greed or wars.
