Become a special person

Contributed by venkat on Saturday, 24th April 2004 @ 12:03:33 AM in AEST
Topic: oops



* * *

Supreme Ruler is a special person
Untouched by misery, actions, results
And passions; in him becomes infinite
That all-knowingness which in others is
Only a germ. He is the teacher of even
The ancient teachers, being not limited
By time. His manifestation is OM and
Repetition of this OM and meditation
On its meaning destroys obstructions
On the way of our enlightenment
There are diseases, laziness, doubt
Lethargy, lack of enthusiasm, clinging
To sensual enjoyments and not attaining
Concentration and falling away from the
State when obtained -such obstructions
Cause grief, distress, tremors of body
Irregular breathing accompanied
By non-retention of concentration:
To remedy this -practice of one subject
Friendship, mercy, gladness or dispassion
Then pacify the mind stuff. Concentration
On one subject causes perseverance of mind
By throwing out and restraining the breath
Or by meditation on the effulgent light
That's beyond all sorrow; or by meditation
On the heart that has given up attachment
On the sense objects; or by meditating
On the knowledge that comes in sleep;
Or by concentration on any thing that
Appeals to one as good, the yogi's mind
Thus meditating becomes unobstructed
From atomic to the infinite consciousness
When the mind is stilled and firmly fixed
On such consciousness it enters the trance.
The knowledge in that is filled with truth
Resulting impression from blissful trance
Obstructs all worldly impressions.
All being restrained comes the seedless
Nirvana and the yogi becomes the lord
Of his mind and body and also of the world!

very interesting and delightfully writte, i particularly love these lines as they have a sweet meaning to myself,"Concentration
On one subject causes perseverance of mind
By throwing out and restraining the breath
Or by meditation on the effulgent light

I like this. It makes me smile. Thank you for sharing. Nirvana, such an illusive state for some of us. Maybe not. You are the poetic muse for most of us, I suspect.

Words so expressive of the great mind who carries this with them.We are a part of this infinite divine and we ALL in some way seek the pure, but many get lost amid "obstructions".Great for you to impart such strength among the weak!
Angel always...godspeed my friend, joni
