LOVE AND KNOWLEDGE

Post by Pravin Kumar » Tue Apr 17, 2018 9:10 am

Love and Knowledge

Bhakti Yoga – The path of devotion,
And Jnana Yoga – That of knowledge,
Both lead to merging with the ocean,
Of Consciousness to which we pledge …

Our small selves, which we must surrender
In Bhakti to our object of adoration,
Or realizing The Absolute must be our agenda,
By of this moment direct investigation.

For in this moment there are sensations and thought,
A flow of objects in Awareness, the perceiving presence,
The only constant since birth, and this seeing ought
Identify us as, and with, this fundamental vital essence.

Awareness is Consciousness at rest, in which this flow
Of objects are cosmic energy, movements and so,
They’re just fleeting, ephemeral, and by this we know
Awareness is The Absolute which doesn’t come and go.

Realizing this, the ‘self’ of body/mind one transcends,
Seen to be merely a fleeting manifestation
Appearing in Awareness which in Itself never ends,
So with this latter is our true identification.

The acme of Bhakti must lead to divine love,
Where the small self is to be negated in total submission,
To the object of worship ‘a token from above’,
Losing ourselves in The Divine, completing our mission.

So in both ‘knowing’ and ‘loving’ the small self goes,
Identifying with Pure Awareness leads to Self-realization,
And by merging with the beloved one also knows,
That there’s only The Absolute, through personal negation.
