INTRODUCTION
To one whose life is not rooted in the bedrock of love and
devotion, the senses are the only prop. A vague thrill of the senses
on which he stands and moves is the only flickering of his feeble
existence. He often feels an irresistible vacuum that sucks him in.
He has nothing to possess him, to enchant him, to engage him, to
immerse him—the heart is ever hungry. Such was I—a motherless
boy at life’s beginning.
I had a hardened heart that could only palpitate with the
promptings of the senses. I still remember the feverish zeal, the
burning fumes rising out of my heated nerves with which I
sacrificed myself at the altar of the senses from very boyhood. My
smouldering self could scarcely dream it was no joy, burning is no
pleasure—death can never be life!
Thus I grew and grew and the passions goaded me on. A
passionate nature is always keen to penetrate the depths of others’
minds. I imbibed all too dissecting a temperament and analyzed
things to their very root. I had a sensuous hunger to drink life to the
leess, to see through the mysterious veil of nature, which I could not
penetrate. Pathos, an undefined hankering, a burning of the brains
haunted me throughout I had fervour to know, to melt the
mysterious block of hard nature with its wonders of the sky and
earth, to rend to shreds the ignorance of man.
Radical in the extreme, I was an atheist Reason could only
2
dictate duties to me, so duties had I none. Like a saw in the
carpenter’s hand or the cruel knife of the dissector my mind would
tear everything to shreds. Moral dogmas were shop-worn imbecility
to me, obedience a necessary evil, faith a blindness and regard an
inferiority complex. I disowned all traditions to be bosh and
nonsense and thus I created a vacuous hollow future for me with
nothing but a lazy fanged ego that could but gnaw at its own self,
draw in and quench. A hypocritical well, smooth and glossy,
covered me all around and often the squall of a sensuous urge or the
whirl-blast of a seething passion would leave me in the miry tedium
of a dullness where the heart parched up and scorched, would
weirdly scream in the wilderness of a sterile repentance.
The only escape-valve in my hands was to absorb myself in
studies and to try to fathom the depths of human ignorance. Life was
a hard nut for me to crack—I began to read voluptuously. To me all
was thinking and abstracting and imagining—a negative criticism, a
positive fault-finding. Science came to my aid. The electrons and
protons, the quanta of Planck and relativity of Einstein helped me to
visualize the ultimatums of existence in the non-causal nothingness
of the whizzing of ultra atoms. Sankara, Hegel, Kant, and electrons
—all made a foggy muddle in my brains and stole away the last
remnants of reality in me.
Still I was living and life cannot but be real. The azure cup
of the sky would pour in its flood of heavenly light on me. The earth
with her seasons intruded into my aloofness and enchanted me, the
living world was a perennial wonder to my eyes and ears, man
would unconsciously draw sympathy from me and women was an
unwelcome curiosity that would attract me with an unwilling
magnetic pull. But a profanity in me would always dissects and
debase and pollute the beauties of nature, my passions distorted my
normal relations with the surroundings inspite of me and my
mutilated exhausted self would mourn in painful remorse and cry
out “Where am I ? Is this my real self?” But what my self is, I could
3
not find out. The vaults of a hollow existence could but echo
repentance! I came to the full bloom of youth yet life was yawning
nothingness to me, an incoherent whim-wham of freakful chaos.
Ideas were all barren. I was in utter need of something—something
to soothe me. I saw Rabindranath, Gandhi, Swami Dayananda and
Thakur Haranath and many others. I longed for Sri Ramkrishna and
Vivekananda. They were dead and gone. I heard of Shri
Aurovindo. He attracted me. I was then a professor of Physics at
Hooghly College and arranged to see him at Pondicherry during the
summer. But events suddenly took a new unexpected course. The
random reading of a few pages from a Bengali monthly invited my
attention. I was a conversation. I resolved to see the man first who
could talk so prophetically. He was at Pabna in a village.
The day came, I met him. It was a summer dawn. The
Padma was flowing on—a vast glassy sheet. The sandy banks were
pious white, cattle were going to the fields, and a wild breeze gave a
soothing touch of the corning. I landed down the ferry on the bank
and wended my way with a throbbing heart. Darkness of night was
melting away. There was a sense of the familiar all around.
I, and my friend reached a cluster of cottages in a hamlet.
A Sudden sound of wooden slippers, then a familiar touch—a loving
arm round my neck, a sweet low unhesitating voice. I got the touch
—of whom I knew not then—but a positive touch of a long—
separated acquaintance. My mind became disinclined to take
exception to such a queer shock of sweet familiarity. My memory
can never fail. I still remember the first silent touch of intimacy, the
soaring eyes, and the easy sympathy, the glow of his smile, the
unique harmony and freedom in everything he did.
The evening drew near. Underneath a tree was a bamboo-scaffold.
He was sitting there. The sun was setting. A shower of mellow light
fell on his beaming face. He asked with a smile, “Brother! Don’t
you ever like to bow down your head? I retorted, us. “Why should I
bow down before a man?” He smiled. He lay down on my lap and
4
said in a low tone, “I have a pain, a blank here at the region of my
heart.” “Why?” “From after the cinchona injection I had to take
during a fever.” I said, “Why? Your adherents say, you are the
Lord, the redeemer of the world, the world-teacher and you require
injections and you can’t cure yourself. How can that be?” His face
beamed. He took the challenge so easily and in a way peculiarly his
own pointing out with his finger the acacia tree before him he said,
“Don’t you see the tree before you? Just so—behold, it has a scar on
it but it grows and grows upward with the scar on its bosom!” It
could strictly be no answer to my question—but it was. For
somehow I could understand, feel, realize dimly, vaguely but surely
that f there be any Lord he is intimate with all the sorrow, and
grieves of the world which are as painful scars on His bosom and He
ever goes on and on with them. He grew interesting to me. We
talked on and on. The shades of night fell on. We could only feel
each other. I felt like one returning home to the precious silence of
his loving guide and friend.
I talked of science, of atoms, of electrons, of Radium, of Xrays,
of quanta, of the living and the non-living, of heaven and earth
and of what not—on the breezy summer night under the starglittered
canopy of the sky. The Padma was lashing her waves on
her bank, I poured out my brains—I could not but do so. I found in
him a loving responding receptacle of all the questionings and
absurdities in me. Like one meeting his asked-for after a long
separation. I had all my valves open, my brakes were off. I laughed
with him, kept silent for long with his head on my lap both gazing at
the same stars in the same sky, rang with talks on all topics and
there was an overwhelming response from him—sympathetic
retorts, unique suggestions, and queries. I wondered how one who as
I knew, was not initiated into academic culture could understand so
profoundly and respond with such intelligent keenness. His
utterances were so homely, so intelligent, so delicate, so nice, so
living, so enlightening, so very cordant with the latest discoveries of
science and suggestive of newer avenues of thought and work—yet
5
so nakedly simple. I doubted and asked, “How can you talk of these
things, of electrons, of quanta? Surely you have read of these
things?” He answered, “No! From my childhood I sometimes see
the universe all melting into a glow of ineffable light particles and
the light condenses and condenses into the material objects
surrounding me.” His utterances burst out like eruptions volcanic
but sweet. They were rough-hewn expressions of sensations—so
immediate, so real, so real, and so absorbing. I vaguely apprehended
he can see the sciences, he can perceive the ultra-atoms!
The next day I felt him with reluctance. My pretensions of
knowledge got a rude shock from him who has no university
education and cannot even speak in English. I again met him soon at
Calcutta and kept his company for months. His vivid description of
the ultimate of physical nature did not only tally with present day
science but suggested new lines of research which were so
brilliantly original and prolific to me and to most of my scientist
friends that I soon gave up the work I began with Prof. C.V. Raman
at the Palit Laboratories, Calcutta University and joined him in his
cottage home. The words of Max Planck rang in my ears
—“Scientists will arise who will have much keener perception than
the scientists of to-day. What we need to develop are the perceptive
faculties themselves. The development of the powers of perception
is one of the main tasks have to meet. That seems to be Einstein’s
idea.” And that idea I saw realized in him, in his queer visions. But
above all I found in him a lover, a friend, a guide—redeemers of an
atheist like me. On this my friends gave up all hopes of me and had
grave suspicious about my sanity.
Days and years rolled on in his company as if in a sweet but active
dream. I soon gathered his past life from him, his mother, his
villagers, his relations and adherents. My pen cannot do the least
justice to his life so varied and eventful. Born in 1888, from his very
childhood he was the favorite and wonder of all. His mother,
relatives and playmates were often taken aback by his deep insight
into the spirit of man and nature. His love from early childhood
6
worked miracles amongst his associates. He would penetrate and
perceive things so deeply and directly with his quick senses that
mysteries unraveled before his eyes in all their details from his very
boyhood. He had many interesting visions and many a time in the
effulgence of the light, which penetrated his whole being he would
swoon away for which his mother suspected him to have the sacred
sickness. He would often perceive the whole universe around him
melting into tremors of light which could speak—could transmit
thrills of a celestial music. The heavenly light and sound incarnated
themselves into tangible things—the tress, the plants, the beings and
the earth below him. Struck with wonder he could again descend
from his being of light and sound into the solid world of flesh and
blood. In an ecstasy of joy he would rush forward to embrace the
luminous glow and the hard solid things would knock against him.
Thus one with the universe, he could not but love his surroundings
—he felt them part and parcel of his own self.
Overwhelmed with a spontaneous love and sympathy for all,
his youth swelled in dance and music on the banks of the Padma
captivating all by his emotions and fervent zeal. None could resist
his supreme charm. During these days of dance and music he would
become unconscious of his body. His system gave no response to
any stimulus, his heart stopped its beatings—sometimes for hours
together, and his flushing face became radiant with a heavenly glow
when brilliant sayings came out of his lips to the utter wonder and
astonishment of all. People would flock in numbers. Every one felt
the shock of his sayings—and the sweet melody of his voice
trembling with holy messages would reverberate in one’s heart long
after one left his company. During these periods of trance he would
speak sometimes in a sweet commanding voice peculiarly his own.
Frequent repetitions of such states and the extraordinary sayings on
the ‘being and becoming’ of humanity at large and the universe,
especially attracted people from all parts of the country. Only for
seventy-one days during these holy trances could his saying be
recorded. Still he was all human—a simple son deeply devoted to
7
his mother. He read at the High School at Pabna but could not
matriculate. The depraved teaching in the schools could but drive a
genius like him out of their precincts. He went to Calcutta to learn
the medical science but returned without any diploma to his village
home to practice as a physician. He worked miracles as a physician.
Rumors spread he could revive the dead. But the physician was
compelled with the pressure of circumstances to minister unto minds
diseased. Many came to be cured of their disease but ultimately
turned into his followers.
From the time I saw him he was quite homely. The trances
were no more. Under the shade of acacia trees on the bank of the
Padma or in the homely cottages we would keep his company for
hours together morning, noon and night. We would talk on
Philosophy, on Sociology, on Politics, on Education, on Economics,
on the Medical Sciences. His touching remarks like a searchlight
swept over the heaven and earth and penetrated into the depths of
existence. We talked of the world old and new, past and present and
got glimpses of the future that is to come.
We thought rather experienced together. The first touch of faith and
regard wields a magic wand and opens the secrets of life—new
vistas of necessities, new appreciation and fresh activities. And the
resultant of all this is character. His adherents were unknowingly
forming their characters and crystallized round the central figure,
their Thakur or the Lord as they called him.
The days and years were merry-go-rounds of new thinking,
new adjustment-an intimate living, a digging to the foundations of
being and gave us aids of higher light. The subtler depths of
humanity stirred into new inventions to fulfill it. It was no call of
hatred or hunger-it was a naked call of love for Thakur-a living
tremendously dynamic like that of the Padma flowing before us.
We grew in number. Many came to catch a glimpse of the unique
state of trance of our young Thakur. Rumors spread far and wide,
seekers after truth poured in numbers-scientists, philosophers,
8
educationist, reformers, the poor and the rich, young and old flowed
into his village homestead and were impressed with the manifold
genius of this queer personality. The village homestead of the young
physician soon turned into a colony of friends and followers.
Many of us, his disciples, settled here permanently. Slowly
life grew in this secluded hamlet. Necessities sprang up. Thakur
suggested starting educational homes for the boys and girls of the
inmates and he himself worked and begged for funds. Huts were
erected or Tapovan, the educational home. Students from different
parts of the country began pouring in. Once Thakur playfully asked
one of our brethren for funds to start a scientific research laboratory.
“It was absurd,” I thought, “to start a science laboratory here-in such
a backward village!” We could then scarcely have two meals a day!
But soon it came to shape, jungles were cut down and building with
up-to-date apparatus and fittings now stand in this village with
scientists to work therein. Slowly and steadily the power-house with
oil engines and dynamics, the mechanical workshop, the chemical
works, the art studio, the engineering works have been started and
scientific industries have been growing in this remote hamlet of
Bengal against heavy odds. Various new medicines have been
invented from indigenous herbs and all by the zeal and skill of one
man. Dreams have been transmuted into living reality, imagination
into solid facts, thoughts materialized irrevocably in flesh and blood.
What was once a dreary corner of a primitive village has turned into
a busy bee-hive of complex modern activities. The colony now rings
with life and thought and culture-a coordinated educational,
economic, social and industrial activity in harmony with the
essential needs and spiritual hankering of humanity at large- a sure
testimony to the constructive genius of the organizer who is mingled
with the origin and details of every work in every department here in
the most homely fashion.
Every child, every boy, every girl, every individual here—
young or old, male or female is in intimate touch of Thakur. He
9
knows of their confessions, their wants, their hankerings and moulds
them accordingly towards a superior becoming each in his original
way. Thus he has created the seeds of various institutions that go in
to build up an ideal nation springing out of the necessities of his
country’s life. the loving Thakur I saw a decade back has become
the founder of Satsang with branches in Bengal, Burma, Bihar and
Assam and with thousands of followers under the banner of his faith
—yet he is the self-same humble and homely gentleman still with
the naked simplicity of a Bengali villager. A devoted son to his
beloved mother, a loving husband, a dutiful father, an affectionate
brother and a perfect friend and guide to all!
Visitors pour in everyday in numbers-Indians and Europeansto
see him and his peaceful silent active home. With no funds he
began and still aspires to develop and spread newer and newer
activities for the being and becoming of humanity at large. He is the
slogan of love, life and service. When the late Deshbandhu C.R. Das
approached him at Calcutta a few years before his sudden demise
and accepted him as his spiritual guide, Thakur said, “I know of no
other politics. If service to the necessities of man is politics then I
am politician to my back-bone. I understand love, I can appreciate
what service is, I love life, not death”.
He can repair men like motor cars in the hands of an expert
engineer and the nervous, debilitated and imbecile bloom in heath
and vigour if they have the sincerity to keep his company for
sometimes-with a few strokes of his chisel he can create life and
energy in a block of lifeless mass, the hopeless beam with hope, the
weak quiver with thrills of energy unfelt before and the depressed
become inspired with his slogan of love, life and lift.
His life-drama is played not in the stirring fields of politics, not in
the superficies of the masses nor on the platform, he works
smilingly in the depths of the human soul with his invulnerable love,
service and activity, and can rouse the dreams of a Caesar in the
heart of a Bengali and the inspiration of a Joan of Arc in the soft
10
flickerings of a Bengali illiterate woman’s heart.
Thakur says, “The earth is full of agonies of the civilized. Can’t you
hear the clang of the weapons of love and service-India’s birthright
of becoming? My war is a war of services against the foes common
to all-the poor and the rich, the east and west. Have you not nerves
and the pluck to attack the citadels of ignorance and prejudice, the
hosts visible and invisible that brings in disease, disaster, sufferings
and death?” He has a full and definite programme for individuals
and nations-for all those who aspire for freedom yet unrealised in its
truest sense by man.
I see everyday or the last twelve years the poor and
uncultured find in him their food and hope and prop, the Hindus
come and accept him as the living ideal of Aryan culture, the
Mohammedans follow Mohammad more truly when they feel the
touch of our Thakur’s living regard for their prophet, the Christians
cannot but love him as they feel their Jesus more deeply in his
company. A Christian missionary from Australia once came and
said, “If our Christ would have come at this hour He would surely
under the exigencies of the modern times serve humanity exactly in
the way your Thakur has been doing here”. “If world progress,” as
Rector Herman Neander of Sweden says, “Waits for religious
unity,” Thakur is giving his little pushes and responses to the cries
of the world from this remote corner of Bengal.
From the seed-though an experimental seed only-he has been
growing in one of the most weedy corners of Bengal against the
queer oppressions of a peculiarly hostile environment, visitors call
him a Lenin with no massacre and hatred, others call him a nonviolent
Mussolini advancing to a balanced and organized social
order for national rebirth, a magistrate from a local District says his
philosophy to be a queer harmony of Bergson and Eucken, some say
he is a Pythagoras in his visions, others see in him Socrates with his
characteristics powers of conversation, some compare him with
Swedenborg, the prince of mystics, others see in him a
11
socioreligious Hitler with no dream of bloodshed, world tourists
consider his Ashram to be the very finest example of selfimprovement
and self-control seen in any part of the world-yet
many of his relatives, villagers and countrymen out of ignoble
jealousy call an imposter and his mission to be a materialistic
jugglery of religion for profiteering to deceive and misguide the
ignorant and the young, but to us he is ever the simple loving
Thakur, a Bengalee to the core-entwined with tiny sorrows and
happiness of our life-we can only repent, we cannot do the least
justice to materialize the innumerable suggestions we receive from
him and can’t repay the least bit of the love and life he showers on
us.
Practical in the extreme, he has a dreamy distance in his
sucking lustrous eyes and a heavenly smile in his lips that none can
fathom. He writes nothing but letters in his life, he has occasionally
given answers to questions asked by people from different parts of
India and abroad. He can convince in a minute. His utterances as
they are always intensely persona—to remove the burdens of the
heart or to solve problems, have almost all evaporated—only a few
have been recorded and have gone through the press.
He cannot speak in any language but his own. A few months
back during the last winter I asked of him some sayings in English
for the English knowing people. Some of his latest utterances in
Bengali were recorded and have recently been published. I thought
if such utterances were in English they might be of interest to a
greater number of people. I cannot now fully understand how I
could at all request him to say something in English knowing full
well for the last decade he does not know the language. Thakur only
smiled and said “Absurd”. A few days passed by. One evening he
called and asked me to write down. I was taken aback. Suddenly he
began to dictate—in English! My pen trembled as it wrote. For days
together he called me off and on and gave out his utterances. There
were many of us present during the time, visitors would sometimes
12
intervene and go away, the workers of our Satsang would come in
gushes and I could not in a hurry find time to write them down. As
Thakur himself says, the sayings rise in his mind all on a sudden,
quite unawares, like shoals of fish in the sea or lumps of cloud in the
sky and as suddenly they disappear. I used to talk with him on
different topics and asked him question. I began to attend him most
of the time he kept awake during the day and night as I could
scarcely know when Thakur would call me. The utterances wee a
shock of wonder to me. Never did I hear him speak out a full
sentence in English for the last twelve years or more I have been
living with him. These were walking trances as some would say. He
would most of the time lie down in bed and talk with us.
There is not a single utterance in the collection from the very
first to the last,—in his ideas on religion, spiritualism, education,
society, money, industry and commerce and others which has not
evolved out of his personal realization and experiences and which he
has not been trying to materialize in the scale of a seedling here in
the Satsang. The life of Thakur like the Alpine glacier which melts
into an infinity of colours as it proceeds onwards, has been breaking
into a variety of channels each solving the problems of a particular
phase of human necessity. He himself knows in what a sea of bliss
for mankind his life will find its consummation. The sayings gave a
clear solution to my questions on the different problems of the
present-day world—to me at least for whom they were intended.
Can they be of any interest and value to others? I showed them to
some of my friends. Most of the pieces were excellent to them. I
showed them to Reverend Dr. Urquhart, Ex-Vice-Chancellor,
Calcutta University. He went through all the sayings and said, “Most
of the pieces are so interesting, so nice, so charming, such brilliant
ideas!” and wrote to me, “I have looked at the verses and aphorisms
with much interest and appreciate the elevated thoughts…I hope the
book when printed will serve the purpose for which it is intended”.
I resolved to print them and the name “Message” occurred
13
in my mind. I supplied headings to the different sayings and have
broken the sentences exactly as they were in the original into
different lines to faithfully reproduce the rhythm and stresses and
the caesura in the utterances of Sree Sree Thakur. If they be of the
least help to any of my careworn brothers as they have been to me,
if my brethren read them with sympathy and dive into the essence of
the sayings remembering with consideration there may be many
faults of omission and commission during my writing and if the
message of Thakur can shed the least light on the darkness in their
minds and imbue them with hope and energy in the gloomy
unsolved paths of their lives I shall deem it with gratitude a favour, a
reward, a mercy from Him, the Beloved, who is omnipotent through
the zeal of His burning Love for all, omnipresent for his weirdly
responding sympathy for the universe, who is unmistakably the
creator for with the sure touch of His love and light he ever moulds
the instincts of the forlorn like me, yet a personality, human in the
extreme, the son of man, in flesh an blood, through whom, in whom
and with whom we eternally fulfill ourselves and become sons of
God!

THE REVEALED
I
The booming commotion
of Existence
that rolls
in the bosom of the Beyond,
evolves into a
thrilling rhyme
and upheaves
into a shooting Becoming
of the Being
with echoes
that float
with an embodiment of Energythat
is Logos,
the Word —
the Beginning !
15
II
He, the Word-the Source of Creation—
manifests Himself
with all His properties
into all that hath manifested,—
but the Beyond
comprehended Him not—
though He shineth in the bosom
of the Beyond !
III
It is Energy
which lies
in the embodiment
of Word that remains
as He is—
though manifesting Himself
into all
that was created—
That is God,
That is Word,
That is Divine !
IV
16
The thrill of Existence which occurs
due to Apathy and Sympathy
for What lies Beyond,
is a stream of Will
that tends to make the Word
to become conscious
in manifesting Himself into many
like Him albeit unlike—
by their mutual impulses,—
moving
spiro-elliptically
one round the other !
V
Beyond is what intervenes
to make
the manifestations
unlike, different and discrete,
though the Affinity
that lies under,
tends always to make
all to be One !
VI
The inter-action of
17
manifestations of Word
in the Beyond
makes the unlike, different
and discrete,
instinct with life—
from fine to gross ;—
thus the Divine creates Himself
into life
surrounded with blood and flesh
which are enlivened too !
VII
In such a way,
different, discrete—
finer and grosser
blood and flesh are manifested ;—
blood and flesh
are embodied with life
as beings, as creatures—
from which Man comes forth
by degrees ;—
discrete individuals with
other phenomena
become the environment
of every individual,
18
and make it awaken,
in life and consciousness
with the thrust of impulses
from mutual affinity :
while on the other hand
He, the Word
became Supreme Being,
the Father to the manifested
and The Individual
who comes forth
ever-enchanted
with sympathy and love
for the Supreme Being,—
at the crying call
of panic-stricken sufferers,
becomes the Beloved God in flesh—
the Divine,
the Ideal,—
The Way to rescue !
VIII
Only then recedes the Beyond
when, sympathy invokes love—
to make one attached to Him
by Whom
19
Being and Becoming
is accelerated ;—
and then
knowledge appears
with an
illuminating zeal !
IX
And knowledge shines
and
redeems the Being to accelerate
fulfilling in a concord
the Ideal, individual
and environment,—
towards Becoming—
towards a superior Becoming
with a gradually unfolding
memory
of the Father
by service and surrender
unto the Beloved !
X
And when rapping’s on
20
the thrilling tension
of attachment to the Beloved
occur
due to the thrust of environment
and complexes—
discretely and collectively,—
the impressions rebound
and set in the individual—
according to sympathy and apathy,—
with a tremor of sensation
into resultants,
and are adjusted
with a solution
tending towards his interest ;—
thus knowledge grows—
with a gradual generalization
of experiences
into a subtler and subtler harmony
of the individual,
the Ideal and wisdom ;
In this way—
as varieties of rapping
diminish gradually,
the individual
plunges into the Beloved
21
through a grand generalization of
wisdom !
XI
The sympathetic affinity
that induces her opposite-equal
to dwell in herself,
and breeds to beget him
measured in different shapes,
is Female ;
whereas the entity that inclines
towards female
to fulfill her
is Male ;—
apathy always resists the one
to become the other :
Female is the shelter
that nourishes, absorbs
and reproduces one into many ;—
and the inclination of the Male
towards female
without something to
uplift existence,
dwindles them
to decease !
22
--------------------------------------------------
THE MESSAGE
Roll on—
like a flood
over the sorrow, sufferings
and calamities of the World,—
with love, sympathy and service
and with the message
of Beloved the Lord,—
with a knowledge and activity
that illuminates
the way of the dull,
and deteriorating depressed;
flow on—
extremely unresting and undisturbed;
if female wants
let her run after you,
proclaiming admiration and worship,
establishing the kingdom
of peace and happiness
with a wistful soothing gaze
after her beloved;—
but wish not
for that
23
at all !
REMEMBER AND GO
Think not weak,
Think not depressed,—
ye hopelessly immobile;
remember the best creation
of His stock
which you live in !
Shout,
cheer up,
be sure and brave;—
hold His banner of love,
behold Him in His creation;
go—
and this go
is only to serve,
to kneel
and to pray !
UPHILL
Talk ye not much,
only think not ye too,—
but do sincerely that
which may elevate
24
you and environment,
with a resonance—
uphill !
SPRAY OFF
Ransom the dirts
from the dirts
of devil’s deteriorating;
and spray them off—
with your prayer, service,
sincere fellow-feeling
and soothing-shameless approach;—
from the environment
which you live in !
CHILD OF COMMON-SENSE
Be in your sense,
see and think accordingly
with an uncoloured,
sympathetic attitude;
lead yourself
unto the objects that surround you,
and thus be
the child of common-sense !
25
FORBEAR
Forbear
and be inspired
with the objects in view,—
only then
will thy purpose
be fulfilled !
THE ILL-FATED
Be sober
but let not thyself be
idle and tardy;—
it is sure—
tardiness and idleness
are guides the great
that lead one
to be ill-fated !
LOVE VS. FORCE
Love acquires Life
with all its riches,—
and force conquers right
without life !
HARBINGGERS OF
26
POVERTY
Idleness and ingratitude
with a jubilant,
vainglorious,
selfish motive
entice one
into poverty
and pauperism !
LACK OF COMMON-SENSE
He who is void ideal
roams
with dull and dusky eyes,
but with a keen complex utopian
and a visionary vision—
so lacking
in worldly common-sense !
THY REALITY
Talk, thought,
dealings and activities
of a man
declare,
redeem
and indicate

of impressed ideas
behind the lenses of one
always sees obliquely ;—
so one lives
in an oblique world !
NATURE ABHORRENCE
Nature abhors those

the perceptible,
which are before their senses,
on the testimony of
indirect knowledge !

is a rocky hindrance
that makes one
impervious
to knowledge !
THE EGO-AND-HONOUR-SENSITIVE
The weak and debilitate

with a humble yearning !
DEVILS EGOISTIC DITCH
When Education,
deluded with insults
like a foolish knave,
recedes and deviates from
the characteristics
to swell up the special features ,—
Satan approaches
with darkened-jeweled shield
to challenge him
31
to run for
Devil’s egoistic ditch
of contamination !
KNOWLEDGE THROUGH
ATTACHMENT
Attachment picketh wits
from its object;
so be wise
that you may acquire
knowledge
through attachment!
IDEAL
An object with impulses thereof
carried through the seeing of one
which promotes the being
towards perfection
is one’s Ideal.
TRUE KNOWLEDGE
To know
is to follow
and to fulfill !
32
REAL EDUCATION
Education in its real from
is to unfold
the characteristic faculties
that are latent within
by attachment to an Ideal embodied
and through the glimpses
of expressions—
those which come forth
as impulses
from his experiences
during periods of exposition,—
to follow with services,
to learn with attention,
to do in accordance therewith,—
in a word
to take those impulses in,
with sense,—
to unfold and adjust !
ACQUISITION AND LEARNING
Acquisition through
love and admiration
makes the being elevated,—

whereas enormous learning
from inferiority-complex
keeps the being untouched !
IGNORANCE OF KNOWLEDGE

it is University !

to get
service, equalization,
lament-lacking elevation ?
35
WAKE UP
Wake up in will
and wealth of services
that your environment
may so elate
and wake in
for your Ideal !
SOURCE OF
PERFECT KNOWLEDGE
Streamy attachment to One
good and great
is regarded as devotion,—
and devotion
is the only source
of perfect knowledge !
RIGID INFERIORITY
Rigid inferiority
is always boastful
of honour and riches,—
it bears
the identifying characteristic—
never to be able
to touch
36
or kiss one’s feet
bowing down
with reverence !
GENIUS AND WISDOM
Genius is the outgrowth
of an instinct
that develops
from
oppressed ego
that rebounds out of the flogging
from environment ;
whereas achievement
through love and service
evolves the being
with sympathy, sense and character
into wisdom !
THE MEEK
Blessed are the meek
because
they enchant the heart !
EGO
Elasticity of Ego
tends to adapt it self
37
to others
with all their roughness,
while rigidity of it
breaks with despair
in the conflicts !

Where aversion
and negligence
betray the attendance of
dutiful compassion
and service,
disappointment
comes down
with headlong terror !
THE MOTHER
OF SUCCESS
Verily, I say,
Doing
is the mother
of success !
THE IDLE
The Idle

rickety abortions
of
ill-fated nature.

To become prosperous,
or to be in position,—
whip yourself
to make others exalted
in life and riches.
HOW TO SUCCEED
Whoever is crowned with
success and prosperity
has followed the principles
to be prosperous
and successful !
ACTION—NOT VOICE ONLY
Let thy goodness
blossom,
not in voice only—
but in action.
39
GLORY—A TRAGRDY
AND A COMEDY
Jealous achievement
Welcome
the tragedy of glory,
whereas acquisition
from love and admiration
enters into the unlimited—
laying a dazzling
glorious comedy
in its trail !
FRANK BUT SWEET
Be frank to tell
but always
with a sweet tongue !
THE HATRED-REPTILE
When one hates or ignores
or neglects to offer
the proper oblation
purposely to another,
and he also
does so in return,—
the hatred-reptile never forgets
40
to gaze with the longing,
dull, devouring look
on both of them !
IN LOSS OF ADMIRATION
He who loses admiration
loses honour and activity,
and thereby
becomes dull and
callous !
WILL
Where there is will,—
there is no suffering
nor pain
in the count
and comprehension !
UNSUCCESSFULL INSTINCTS
Repeated unsuccess
encumbers
with an octopus attack
due to bad adjustment of
ignorant move,—
with a picking up of
41
achieved unsuccessful instinct ;
Leave it off at once,
and revert to a newer
and nobler enthusiasm
--thoroughly disinterested—
then adjust yourself ;
otherwise,
thou shall be doomed
to despair !
DO ENDEAVOUR
Endeavour—
do endeavour again,
because the screen of ignorance
hangs just in front of you;—
try and roll it up—
the shining horizon
with a beautiful gesture
is waiting with success
and a smiling glance
to receive you !
TRUTH
That which keeps our being
firm and compact
42
is true to us !
SINCERITY
Only sincerity can determine
with an unbiased mood
the uneven, zigzag, foggy,
imbecile cruelty
of the environmental circumstances
and thus she can
make her way
through them !
THE GARLAND OF WEALTH
AND WORSHIP
If you possess
normal aptitude for service
with your unshaken love for principle
that exalts your environment
with a profitable nourishment
which makes them interested
with a loving earnestness
to cherish you,
Verily, I say, with a stony assurance—
Destiny with the garland
of
43
wealth and worship
will follow you
with a wistful gaze !
THE DEVIL, APPROACHES
WITH A DULL REPTILE WINK
Nature wistfully approaches
with a dowry of bliss
and a smile of affection
unto the able hero or
one with authority bestowed
who stretches his service
first, towards those
who continually whip themselves
to strive with a sincere serving zeal,
for the welfare of humanity
and beg help for that ;—
next, towards sincere willing needy
and wretched ;—
then, towards others deserving ;—
but when the arrogant deny the dues,—
the Devil approaches
with a dull reptile wink
smiling with a bending heavy thump
placing his left hand on his loin,
44
with a smoky sinful cigar
in his right ;—
and fortune recedes
with tears of insult !
WOE TO MAN !
Kneeling before a woman
for lust and beauty
is woe to man
and blasphemy
unto the Creator !
PASSIONS THY SLAVE !
Put not thyself in vain
to check thy passions,
but apply them
to swell up thy master ;—
verily,
they shall be subdued
like slaves !
THE SOLE
DISQUALIFICATION
45
Offer of himself
by a man
to a woman
is the sole disqualification
to be a husband !
ONE MINUTES BELOVED
The characteristic
to create one minute’s beloved
makes foes
due to unsettled continuity,
for hundred years at least !
TRUTH THAT ELATES
Speak out the truth
that makes one
elated and elevated,
but beware of
leading one
to deterioration !
DEVIL THE GREAT
Greatness that destroys elevation
but on the replace
or establish more good
46
or elevating energy
should be called
Devil the great !
ATTACHMENT TO ONE
Sincere enchanting
welling up of the heart
due to attachment for one
can inundate
millions of souls
with a charming exuberance !
UNSHIRNKING ATTACHMENT
Unshrinking attachment
can arrange emphatically—
converting the rapping complexes
into experience
and knowledge !
DEPENDENCE
UNTOTTERING
Non-worship of and ignoring
the Ideal and the great,
disobedience and insubordinate
47
attitude
declare
the throne of dependence
untottering—
both mentally and physically !
LOVE INVENTS
Love invents
varieties and activities
for the enjoyment
of her beloved !
THE WIFE
She who is not disgusted with,
nor possesses any aversion against
one’s faults or disqualifications,
but elates
applying services,
and in an admiration for his
superiority
is charmed with him
in all respects
is fit to be his wife !
THE REPTILE THAT LURES !
When any passion
48
entices one
without establishing one’s ideal,—
it is the reptile
that lures one
unto the depressing ditches
of despair !
THE PULL
Nothing has a pull
more magnetic
that love !
HEREDITY
Heredity
bears
the being of forefathers
alive in the offspring ;
so when a woman
of higher heredity
succumbs to an inferior,
it rouses a drowning-down panic
in the soul of her ignorance,
because
the inferior breeds
at the cost of the deteriorating superior !
49
LOVE AND LUST
Love wisheth her beloved
to be enthroned with
life, glory and beauty,
while lust calleth her prey
to swallow him up
with all his existence !
BEAUTY
Have you a craving
for beauty ?
Try to see beauty
even in ugliness !
MAN AND WOMAN
Man should expand himself
blazing up his ideal
in his environment
exalting in the life, wealth and ability,
bestowing his self on every individual,
making them
unified in interest in him :
in such a way he runs after glory
with glory,
and this is the characteristic of a man ;
50
and where the female
follows man
with a darling dish of nourishment,
voice of vitality, influence of love,
push for the ideal,
tears of affection and sympathy,
proclaiming with the blow of conch,
‘Run forward—
in exhaustion I am the shelter,
I the rest and life,
the arbour of love and
refreshment’,—
that is the characteristic of a woman !
LOVE CONQUERS
Love
and love only
can conquer lust !
THE SUPERIOR BECOMING
When a female of inferior heredity
approaches to offer herself
with modesty, love,
admiration and service
to a make superior in heredity,—
51
her innermost being
with the enduring essence
of her forefathers
becomes exalted
for the superior becoming !
LOVE AND WILES
OF LUST
Love possesses the instinct
to set her beloved
free from bondage,
but lust rattles
to bind her victim
with all her wiles !
TO HAVE A CHILD OF HEALTH
The female who being herself
charmed and cheerful,
elevates her husband
with an exuberance of good dealings,
service, love and admiration,
and thus bears him,
is sure to have a child
of health, life and knowledge !
WOMAN, MAN AND IDEAL
52
Man should run after the Ideal
to enthrone Him
with a triumph of glory,
but woman
after the man !
FEMALE MAY FOLLOW HER IDEAL !
Yes,
female too may follow her Ideal—
Beloved the Lord;—
and only then
she may remain unmarried
when enchanting adoration
for the Ideal
makes her flushed with sincere service
and fulfilling move—
in a concord with Ideal,
herself and environment
remaining untottering,
refuting the cruel compression
of circumstances—
blessed shower plumps down
with flowery sparks—
with a music
of heavenly heart !
53
WHEN FAITH PEEPS
Where unquestioning diligence
runs easily and wisely
with love,
faith peeps from behind
with a smile !
THE WAY OF GO
Attachment, anxiety and endurance
for the great
infuses greatness unconsciously,
makes the heart sober and elated,—
moreover, moulds the brain
to be more sensitive :
--so common-sense
always illuminates
the way of go !
CHASTITY DWELLS THERE !
When in a female
all the passions converge
in welling up
the life and lift of her beloved,
ceases all her hankering
54
for self-enjoyment
but for Love :
hope relieves despair,
labour relieves rest,
joy relieves suffering,
and life relieves death
in the innermost recesses,
peeping wistfully towards the lover,
making him unconsciously exuberant
in life, love and service,
with a beautiful serviceable move—
Chastity dwells there !
SLIMY PASSES OF HELL
Drag not
by giving vent to nuisance
and depressive deteriorating opinions—
one
unto the stone-hard,
filthy and slimy passes of hell !
THY TIME WILL FLY OFF !
Do and do that immediately
which you contemplated
for begetting good,—
otherwise, the time
55
which is waiting with bliss
will fly off
laying an
unsuccessful ridge
of misfortune !
LUST, ANGER, JEALOUSY
Oppressed lust
calls out anger,
and anger
instigates
cruel jealousy !
TUNED HANKERING
That you are able
to sacrifice your wishes
is the test
that your hankering
is in its correct tone !
FOLLOW HIM WHERE
THE TRUTH IS REVEALED !
That which accelerates
the being and becoming
towards elevation
56
without any distortion of others
is true to one’s existence :
so if thou seekest after truth,
follow Him
where the truth is revealed !
EFFECTS DOWRY
Effects always approaches
with a lovely dowry
towards action !
MERE LUST
Mere lust cannot make
a man
permanently related with a female
as husband and wife,
and will never !
A SIN TO REPEL
Repelled love makes the libido
stunted and brushed,—
quenching the zeal
of hope and aspiration,
kicking the skeleton of mind
towards sighful depression
and takes one away to ruin :
57
--so it is best to remould,
but a sin to repel !
TO THE PALACE OF THE DEVIL !
When passion thwarts thee
in fulfilling thine Ideal
and serving the
environment sincerely,—
it is sure
thou art in the grip
of thy passions;—
shake off,
be off with it,
or sin will seduce thee
to the palace
of the Devil !
ENVIRONMENT
Environment is that
which rouses us by impulses,
keeping our consciousness
awakened !
SIREN OF SELF-INTEREST
He, who knows not
that his interest roams
58
in the welling up of the environment,
and is disinterested in picking it up,—
pushing the surrounding
in health, wealth and knowledge—
is lured surely
by the siren of interest
which diverts him
to deteriorating !
BE GREAT IN
THE MAKING
Endure
and endeavour
to make one great,
and thus be great
in the making !
PUSH YOURSELF
Forbear,
resist not,
allay irritation,
live in faith, ideal, good or God
and services :
--so push yourself
into acquisition
59
of power and piety !
BE SERVICEABLE
Environment is the only source
of life and nourishment :
so service is inevitable
to sustain oneself,—
therefore be serviceable
to make it healthy,
wealthy
and vigorous in life !
A PRAY OF PYTHON
He who lacks
in keeping his environment
healthy, elated and elevated,—
where existence is vested
and nourished,—
is a prey of python
positively !
EGOTISM
Egotism that refuses
to increase one in ability
60
is the Ego
that Satan breathes into !
THE OBJECT OF WORSHIP
He who wishes to establish himself
by the action,
admiration and services
with which he endures
to fulfill the ambition
that lies within,
and thus makes him great,
is not as all worship able,—
but may be the object
of honour and discussion ;
but he who dazzles
with the auspicious idea
to fulfill the Beloved
and acts with charmed services ;
elates and elevates the environment
with the charming pose—
is the object of worship :
Follow him,
bear him with the cross
of enlivening
peaceful sufferings !
61
VENOM OF
SELF-NOURISHMENT
Ungrateful, venomous, pilfering
self-nourishment
succumbing acutely with
indolent laziness
to a pungent hankering,
when opposed
invokes cruelty :
--So the cruel are ever
saucy and cowardly !
BLISS MAY COME !
Keep yourself awake,
wait eagerly and wistfully
with enchanted earnestness,—
Bliss may come,
Smile may bloom,
Fate may unfold !
MY RELIGION
The act of binding oneself
with the Ideal,
in love, worship and admiration
62
and to live on accordingly
in an acceleration
of one’s being and becoming
is Religion to me.
FAITH AS I KNOW
A pursuit,—
unfettered by reason,
with an easy acceptance,—
which leads one
to beloved performance
is Faith as I know.
REASON—THE LADDER
OF FAITH
The ladder of faith
by which one can reach
step by step,
a desired extremity
may be called Reason.
TOWARDS EFFICIENCY
Earn and store up
to serve Ideal and environment,
63
to make them efficient :
--thus make thyself efficient !
SIN
That which discards
or denies the law
that uplifts the being
and becoming
bestowed on existence
by the gracious Grace
is Sin.
THE EDGE OF
ANTI-THOUGHT
When belief in good
is injured
with the edge of anti-thought,
doubt comes
in a run
with a triumph of evil !
THE MASTER OF SERVICES
Be serviceable to everyone
without sacrificing your Ideal
and be
64
the master of services !
ABILITY WILL
EMBRACE THEE !
If thou wishest
to be active
an energetic,
make thy habit
to carry the lead of services,
bear it calmly,—
ability will embrace thee !
CHARITY
The endearing knock of affection
that serves
with the interest of others’
well-being
with a feeling of one’s own self—
is Charity.
RACE
Species
that evolves
from similar stock of environment
65
with the tradition and instincts—
comes out
and moves thereon
protecting its normal line of descent
with familiar specialties;—
I think it is Race.
NATION
That
born out of
the achieved instincts
of equal creed and culture—
being interested
to fulfill the same—
with a normal loving interest,
is a Nation as I mean.
HEREDITY IN
NATION-BUILDING
When heredity of higher instincts
breeds into
the enchanted
assimilable lower
with an exalting embrace,
it begets a nation
66
that acquires
and
thrives onward
with an easy move !
DICTATORSHIP
The self-made man
who achieves elixir of success
out of sufferings
from the unfavourable
that stand as a barrier
to his becoming
and turn into the favourable uphill
with services and sympathy—
resting untottering—
with love of principle
and Ideal,
with go and guidance
that makes him able
to feel every individual
as his own,
is a true Dictator
whom Nature allows
to be deliberate.
67
SHAM INDEPENDENCE
Sham and fictitious
Is the independence
Of the man
Who serves not his environment
But seeks
To earn his interest,
Depriving others of their welfare –
Which is really deprivation of his own self !
HIS COUNTRY VANISHES
To a man
who dwelleth not with others
under the banner
of an ideal or chieftainbearing
his commandments to serve,
that may stand against
his contraryto
protect himself in all respects
with others,—
his country vanishes
and goes to hell
for disloyalty to the chieftain
or his commandments !
68
SERVE THY
ENVIRONMENT
Let thy service to open to all,
but take it not for others
until dire necessity arises :
- thus keep your environment
indebted to your service
and be honored !
POLITICS WEEPS ALONG
When the sufferers, the distressed
and the misfortune
are not managed
to get rid of
the heinous, foul breathing of evil
by the service and solace of the noble,
and are not obliged by them—
politics weeps along !
WAR INEVITABLE
Without nourishing the environment
through compassion,
love and service
soothing with resonant sympathy
sorrows and disappointments,
69
when individuals of same interest
live on slaughtering others—
those that environ them—
to protect their existence,—
they quiver,
outbreak with roaring rolls,—
hunger shouts with
cramps of cruelty,—
tilt in every heart
pangs of existence,
screams with thrill—
war is inevitable !
TRUE LIBERTY
Services of an individual
invoke nourishment
with an uphill becoming of beings
elating them
in a concord with environment
towards Ideal
whereby the surroundings
and circumstances
urge
to make his desires free
with an active fulfillment
to reach a higher life—
70
with an upheaval
in enthusiastic federation ;
thus Liberty comes
in triumph
with a fraternal hymn !
EQUALITY
When interest of services
arrives
with a meaning of self-interest
irrespective of the high or low,
that elates automatically
with a nourishing nurse
of environment
just as of one’s own,—
Equality binds together
with the tendrils of every
individual’s interest ;
otherwise
the pose of equality
is nothing but a sham slice
of weak, egoistic ignorance !
FRATERNITY
When Ideal invokes
71
a thrill of joyful dance,
Becoming shouts
With a cheering hymn,—
fellow-feeling bubbles
with active services
rendering a soothing uplift—
heart to heart,
with peace, push and power,
by oblation and worship,—
Fraternity chants
the psalm of love and life and lift !
RIGHTS
Only then the right is right
and is a boon of nature,
when it is dumb of self
and active
in nursing the environment—
to fulfill the requisition of existence
with a welling up
of service !
THE KING
The kinsman of every individual
with equal interest, affection
72
and service,
with a higher instinct—
that makes them
able to achieve
higher acquisition
through protection and nourishment
of the being
with a loyal charm
is the King—
that dazzles
emitting the radiation
of a better, beloved becoming !
THE REAL STATE
Where individuals run
an endeavour
to achieve higher life,
to protect and maintain
their being and becoming
with a greater fulfillment
of themselves and their
environment too,—
under the call and command
of a higher Ideal
whom they stand upon,
73
with regard and attachment,—
the people collect into a body
and may be called
State
in its real essence.
HOW STATE DEGENERATES
INTO DEFORMED CONSTITUTIONS
Where a particular function
of stay,
by which state moves on,
ignores and usurps—
pilfering others’ normal equity
of existence,
with a hoax of credulous becoming
and duping words
to rule over and snatch their interest,
State is degenerated—
and begets,
with a cynic abhorrence,
imprudent rebel of constitutions
of deformed shapes !
REVENGE
Revenge returns with
74
jealous vindictiveness :
so
offer yourself
with soothing prayer
elating him with service
and penitence,—
to play a venging rule
on your victim self,
and make him thankful
whom the strikes comes from—
enlivening with your
enlightened principle.
CONSCIENCE
The knowledge—that glows
by coming in contact
with any object,
with the sensation of impulses
which radiate
through one’s senses,
with a favourable
or unfavourable reminiscence—
may be called Conscience.
PURITY LIES THERE !
75
Unadulterated attachment
and for that only—
with all the tendrils
of the hankering of life,
to fulfill
with a spontaneous self-satisfaction
and to act accordingly
at the call of
a normal thirst of the heart,—
to endeavour and suffer
with a patient aptitude
and pleasing rhyme,—
to serve and establish
and get satisfaction there from,—
has a blessed charm;—
Purity lies there !
ART AND LITERATURE
What makes one
luminous
with an enthusiastic unfoldment
of ideas
that elate the mind
with a pleasure-push
to service and success
76
in the way of becoming
by means and skill
that operates
with an
uphill sensation,
is Art and Literature.
POWER RESIDES THERE !
The active endurance
with a dynamic equilibrium
which enables
and inclines into services,
brings others in ability
with an exuberance
of faith and potency :
Power resides there !
LABOUR AND CAPITALISM
Where capitalists are not laborious
to serve the labourers—
to make them efficient,
Mammon with a sighful glimpse
converts money into mud ;
and where labourers
deceive the capitalists
77
without being profitable to them
and negligently usurp the maintenance
which makes them
fit in life,
Satan with embezzling laughter
presents them
a black necklace
with a steel rope
that pulls them towards vanity !
TUNNEL OF SATAN
Power or authority bestowed
which elevates not others,
is a smooth
but sloping
tunnel of Satan !
EFFICIENCY AND CREDIT
Take not anything from anyone
without immediate
active invention
to recoup it by all means :
this habit will bring you
efficiency and credit
with honour and worship !
78
SELF-ENJOYMENT AND
INQUSITIVENESS
Where pleasure and enjoyment prevail
absorbed and engaged—
to be adorned with
lazy-fictitious garlands of whims,
insulting the pioneer of prosperity—
Inquisitiveness,—
thunder roars suddenly
and falls on—
smashing all the pillars
on which
they rest and reside !
FIE ON THE SHREWD !
Fie on the shrewd
because they shall be deceived ;
Blessed are the honest
because they are clever
to reign over
heart and heaven !
WILL DOOM YOU TO DOGS !
To ignore your ability and intellect
79
to nourish, relieve
and to rebuild one’s welfare
is really an insult
to your ideal and environment !
This will never establish you
but will doom you to dogs !
THE BACKBONE OF COMMERCE
Service with invention
is the backbone of commerce :
when commercialism serves not
the Ideal and culture
with money and means,
it lacks
with a yawning depression
and dwindles
to a depravation of invention
that stabs—
with a cruel blood-shed !
MONEY—THE SYMBOL OF THANKS
Money is the symbol of thanks
that come out of the hearts
of the needy and sufferers
80
in exchange of service that redeems :
so if there be any wealth
that enriches man,
it is service—
that brings in prosperity to both—
the servant and the served !
FOOD AND DRINK
Pleasing the irritation of hunger
with easy absorption
gives nourishment
that raises the vitality up;—
that is diet :
so take thy food and drink
to invigorate thyself !
INDUSTRY
Industry is what builds
from within
to fulfill the needs of life !
INDUSTRY APPEARS SMILING !
When Attention looks eagerly
at the hankering call of need
on which people hang in difficulties,
81
Inquisitiveness comes forth
to serve to redeem the sufferers
from the jaws of calamities
with earnest, sincere research,—
Industry appears smiling
with the lotus of success
in hand !
INDENTING NEWER AND
NOBLER MEANS OF
EXCHANGE !
When money the symbol
is hoarded up,
depriving the earnestness of service,
the hoarders dwindles,—
but eager service thrives
in a triumph,
with wealth and glory
in blessed interchanges—
indenting newer and nobler means
of her exchange !
SOCIETY
Society always associates itself
with functions of activities
82
for
serviceable culture, invention
and philanthropic welfare,
for executing protection to life, peace
and wealth,
for commerce with a serviceable
interchange,
and for labour to well up;—
and when any of these deteriorates
and is dishonoured,—
the entire system
comes to a cessation
with a horrible panic !
BE HUMBLE
Be humble
but not weak,—
because the weak
break to bend !
INSIGNIFICANT THE GREAT
He who thinks himself great
with the denial of
others’ possibilities to be so,
83
proclaims
that he is himself
Insignificant the Great !
A MAN OF IGNORANCE
A man of little faith
is surely
a man of ignorance !
TO RECEDE TOWARDS
THE EBB OF LIFE !
When one has no Ideal
and attachment
to proceed towards Becoming—
repelling the thwart
of environment,—
experience with an
ignorant inconsistency
induces him
to recede towards
the ebb of life,
and inclination for female
swallows him up
to his painful despair !
--Such a man
84
is always disqualified to be a husband !
CONTAMINATION OF MISDOINGS
Pain and punishment
which neither soothe
nor elevate in return,
are the flies of contamination
of misdoings !
THE DOLL OF IGNORANCE
He who poses and professes himself
to be noble and honourable,
but does not posses
any acquisitions to be so
and thus cheats others
to get credit,
deprives and deteriorates himself,
is a hypocrite—
the doll of ignorance !
THANK YE THE FAULT-FINDERS !
Thank ye
with pity
the fault-finders,
because they wash off
the nascent dirts
85
with an irritating shower
of criticism,
taking in the oozing excreta
that you leave behind !
KEEP YOURSELF READY
Go not to handle one’s affairs
uncalled-for—
but watch and keep yourself
ready
to share shoulders
when one is weak
and exhausted
or for a look for help !
FAITH BEGETS OPTIMISM !
Faith and love
begets
intelligence and optimism,
while disbelief and repulsion
begets
ignorance
and
pessimism !
HATE NOT
86
THE FAULTY SINNER
Laugh not
nor hate the faulty sinner,
but blow off
his filthiness
with compassion, sympathy
and service,
inducing in him an abode of grace;—
otherwise, it will contaminate you
with the error
you hate and laugh at !
THE FAULT-FINDING
BEAR IN THEE !
Seek not faults,—
not even speak ill of others,
nor trump them
with an unfair
dishonouring motive;—
the fault-finding bear in thee
with an open mouth
and protruding-quivering tongue,
stretching the arms
with a dancing approach
and shouting laughter,—
87
with lazy, blinking eyes
will pursue thee
along the long run
of thy life !
THE FLATTERER
The flatterer sucks
the elixir of elevation,
fanning the ego
with a vanity of glory
to fulfill his interest,—
as the vampires do for blood !
STEAL NOT
Steal not—
it makes one imperfect in knowledge
to fulfill the necessities
that one requires,—
how and in what way
to obtain them,
and secures one’s needs
pilfering others’ interests
without any loftier recoupment;—
88
thus thieving is a sinful
and filthy crime
which drags one
towards the depth
of harmful ignorance !
A DAZZLING DEPRIVEMENT
When a man seeketh fault
and picketh it around,
Demon presenteth him
a blind and blackened
throne
that burneth day and night
with a dazzling deprivement !
THE BLASPHEMER
Do not defame
the blasphemer :
Praise be unto him ;—
because of this
the environment
will thwart him,
and install you
on the throne of glory
with a drumming triumph !
89
BE NOT JEALOUS
Be not jealous of any one,
and never be
the subject of jealousy !
HARMFUL PROMISE
If you give word of promise
to do something
that harms anyone,
cease to do it immediately—
and repent
and pray
for your ignorance,
and please the one
whom you have given
word or promise !
SCANDAL-MONGERING
Whenever a man
wishes to be great
and powerful,
exerting scandal ,—
it is sure
scandal will rise in power
90
to his dwindle !
ADULTERY—THE
UNGRATEFUL SCAR
Be off from adultery—
not even think of it ;
it bifurcates the libido
with an ungrateful scar,
and causes the brain—
from which the mind oozes down—
to be fissured with treachery
and thus begets betrayed—
the sin of all sine—
the crime of all crimes !
UTILISE THE SERPENT !
Do the devil off
or utilize the serpent
to manage the evil
for good !
CAPTAIN OF WHIMS
A captain of whims
without responsibility
91
is the leader
that leads
to ruin !
APPEAL WITH A HUMBLE RHYME !
Oppose not one’s views,
but present your intention
appearing with a humble rhyme—
be it accepted or not;—
your enemies will be
few far between !
LIKING AND AVERSION
Liking creates firmness, wit
and activity,—
aversion begets dullness,
inaction and sufferings !
OPPONENT—THE CAUSE
OF THY SUCCESS !
When opposition comes forth,
manages it
by exerting thyself
to make thy opponent prominent;—
surely the opponent will be
92
the cause of
thy success !
THY TOUCHY EAR-WIG
Be not ye thirsty of honour,
nor be throbbing
and sensitive of it,
even do not think of it,—
because
it is the touchy ear-wig
that quenches you
with an irritating,
depressive, dull and sighful
aversion !
VACILLATING TEMPERAMENTS
Think well before-hand
and be determined to do,—
because vacillating temperaments
always tilt
with oscillating determination
that goes on
with heart-rending
unsuccess and despair !
THE HEROIC
93
The heroic are never ferocious
but for the sake of good;—
so ferocity
can never make a hero !
THE DANGEROUS
CALL OF POVERTY
Screwing-out of further opportunities
without more profitable
fulfillment
is the dangerous call
of poverty
and pauperism !
BE STIFF BUT HUMBLE !
Be stiff but humble
to move on slimy path,
because
passions may entice you otherwise,
with a slimy slip
away from the Beloved ;—
so resist with stiffness—
but in a humble gait
and attitude !
94
LOVE
Love exalts the will
uphill !
SUCKING THE WEAK !
When the powerful
fulfill their cravings
by sucking the weak
instead of nourishing them,—
weakness stands
extending her jaws
to the mighty
with the thrilling power
to devour !
FORGIVE AND FORGET
Whoever is sincerely able
to forgive and forget,
Nature receives him cordially
with the same tribute ;—
otherwise undue demand
insults
and makes one miserable
repeatedly !
95
LOVE—THE DICTATOR OF DUTIES
Love infuses will,
and determines service
unto the beloved and environment—
and that is duty ;
but when unwillingness
rebels against duty,
it invites sufferings
and repentance :—
so love is the dictator
of duties !
FATE
Effect of move and activities,
that dissipate in the environment
transforming themselves
in their transits—
and eventually reverting
on one’s own self
from beyond the range
of one’s knowledge,
is Fate !
THE WAY TO LIFE AND LIGHT
He who infuses
96
the thrill of animation,
extension and augmentation—
the hankerings of life—
with an easy flow
that attracts the heart
of deteriorating being,
and can see
the ways of fulfillment thereof
is the Ideal—
The Way of sufferers
to life and light !
LOVE TREMENDOUSLY
If thou wishes to live,
live tremendously
with an uphill exuberance
of life and light,
smearing with service
and worship—
demanding
least possible requisite
from environment—
that is required
as a normal stand-you-on
to move.
97
PRE-DESTINATION
AND FREE WILL
The inherited instincts
imbibed from
the acquisitions of fore-fathers
determine the faculties
that make one move—
that is Pre-destination ;—
and the faculties
that dwell in those instincts
accentuate the innate nature
of a being,
and make it move
accordingly—
that is Free will.
ASCEND THE THRONE OF BLISS !
If thou wishest to be
pure in soul,
love thy Ideal or Prophet,—
do everything to fulfill the wishes
that thou knowest
and see good in everything
thou seest—
98
allaying evil with an uplift
of being and becoming ;
do so to thyself and others
and thus ascend
the throne of
purity and bliss !
PLUNGE INTO SURRENDER
Association with the experienced
with a liking mood
invokes regard,
and regard begets conviction
with clear-sightedness
and lucid conviction
enthrones one in belief ;
belief excites love
with a tremor of hankering—
such a hankering
plunges into Surrender !
NEGLIGENCE HAS A POWER !
Negligence has a power—
to undo
the burden of knowledge !
99
APPRECIATE ONE !
Any sore to be appreciated ?
Appreciate One
with all your heart,
your virtue,
voice and action !
TO REFUTE SCANDAL
To ignore
is the only way
to refute
foggy scandal !
THE GRADE OF
THY ACQUISITION
Intensity of attachment
and impulses
reveals
the gradation
of acquisition !
LOVE APPROACHES !
Where liking-for-many
is impaired
and
oscillates
100
in the way of attacking
the liking-for-one
love approaches there
stealthily
with a smile
and wistful look !
CONVERGE TOWARDS ONE !
Only then
life becomes exuberant
when dissipated attachment
converges towards One, the Ideal—
and bears Him
binding the self
with an untottering love
and attachment
to fulfill the wishes
and to carry His commands,
bearing the sufferings that occur
with a zeal of pleasure,—
and this is Religion
which moves us
to do so !
RELIGIONS MAY BE MANY
Religions may be many
101
but the principle
and realization thereof
are ever the same !
ALWAYS TWINKLES IN
EQUAL RADIANCE !
Circumstances may mould the creed
into many forms,—
but the law
and principle of uplift
always twinkles
in equal radiance !
THE RELIGION—WHETHER
YOU CALL IT SO OR NOT !
The principal hankerings of Being
are animation,
extension
and augmentation,
fulfill them by binding back,
with attachment
to the Ideal,—
from dissipation into the
surrounding phenomena
through attractions
102
that diverge and rend the being
into bits,—
this the Religion
--whether you call it so or not—
that exalts Being and Becoming !
SPIRITUALISM AS I MEAN
Spiritualism is investigation
and invention
of the hows and whys
by which matter extend and grows—
to the acceleration
of our Being
and Becoming !
SORRY—NO TIME !
Say not ‘Sorry’ or ‘No time’
unto the doer of human welfare
whom your prime considerations
must look unto,—
who begs the service of your ability
and power bestowed
--if you can manage ;—
this will undoubtedly
facilitate you to make
your fortune
103
by the grace of interest
and sympathy imbibed,
whereas, if you refuse to do so,
you will turn behind
and see the two sisters
‘Sorry’ and ‘No time’
grinning and with a taunting gaze
hurling down your
creeping approach
towards prosperity
with a follow like spectre !
CONTENT YOURSELF !
Roam wherever you like
Heaven or hell—
No peace
Until you content yourself !
LOVE MOURNS !
Love mourns
at the look of
analytical measurement,
and swells
at a wistful gaze !
104
RELIGION SAVES !
Religion saves one
by binding back,
from the rattle-attack of a round
that dissipates the libido
by degrees,—
and nourishes with knowledge
like a wet-nurse
in the cradle-bed of experience,—
there philosophy stands
with regards
and oblation !
INGRATITUDE
Ingratitude is the only throne
of Satan :
Betrayal is the
dreadful-darkening
queen-consort,—
where sin and crime
are the prime ministers !
HORROR !—IT IS HORROR !
Horror—it is horror !
Come back from the filth,
105
obnoxious, heinous ,
dreadful betrayal
which once crucified Beloved The Great
with the sinful,
pathetic,
criminal blood-shed,—
Ah,Oh !—
Be astray and off from it !
BEWARE OF NEGLIGENCE !
The loss the occurs
with the twinkle of negligence
and due to
a lack of responsibility
will never be made up again
with its sincere zeal,—
the lost will never smile,
never look,
never touch again—
it is gone
and gone for ever !
So beware of negligence
and irresponsibility !
PIETY
Piety loves many
106
for her dear beloved—
to pick up enjoyments
from her universe
with complacence,—
whereas longing
yearns after one
to have many
for the satisfaction
of her whimsical cravings !
LAWS NEVER COERCE !
Laws and rules of conduct
Never coerce to obey
But whoever follows them
Attains to bliss !
EBRACE THE CROSS
Embrace the cross
of peaceful suffering,—
then kneel
before your saviour
and follow !
WHERE THE LATTER IS DENIED,
THE FORMER IS SPITTED ON !
107
Phenomena roll on,
experience goes evolving—
thus the first
invites the second,
and the former
makes way for the latter ;
so the prior
is the resting ground
of what comes after;—
therefore, he who denies the former
insults, invariably
the latter,—
and where the latter is denied,
the former is spitted on !
THE PROPHET
The rapping on accustomed habits
that make a man
go to the dogs
feels restless and uncomfortable,—
though he does not like them
unconsciously ;
--so the prophet
cannot be
universally admired
and worshipped !
108
BELOVED THE GREAT
Let thy God
be revealed
in thy Beloved the Great
through the evolving love—
that
which exists in you !
PERFECTION
When Ideal, individual
and environment
fulfill one another
in a concord,—
with an uplift of exuberance
that moves the life
onward
with an easy
intelligent flow—
Perfection resides
there indeed !
FATHER, THE SON
When man, duped by
the delusion of Satan,
109
embraces dusky ignorance—
he forgets that he is a son
of God the Father ;
--So he gets known
by the name of father the son !
CHARM YOUSELF !
Charm yourself
if you wish
to charm everyone !
LOVE MOVETH ON !
Love seeketh wistfully
the resemblance of her beloved
in the environment ;
thus everything reviveth
the memory of her lover
with his environment,
with an emotional zeal,—
and thus
alive and enjoyable
love moveth on !
TO GRACE
Law is the fellow-traveler
that guides the pilgrim
110
to Grace !
GRACE –- THE WILLING URGE
OF ATTACHMENT
The sincere, willing urge
of eager attachment
that leads
with innocent faithful attraction
which makes one
only
towards the Beloved
with a soothing feel,
can cure and create
many impossibilities
that cannot be dreamt
at all ;—
and thus
Grace comes out
from Him, the Beloved
with the astounding,
miraculous, freshening,
flowery hand
to relieve and release
from
undesirable
111
beating pangs of life !
THE LEADER
The Guided one
who leads the sufferers
with means of maintenance
that they may stand on,—
raising their ability
and power of endurance
with hope, service and responsibility
towards welfare and success,
is a Leader—
Him only
can nature permit to lead !
IGNORANCE
The fatherness of man
in its true zeal
is inherited from
God the Creator ;—
but it is capsulated
by the ignorance—
the dull deteriorating
glimpse
of Satan !
112
NATURE’S RESCUE TO
THE CALL OF SUFFERERS !
The heart
that sobs with sympathy
and fellow-feeling
at the miseries, sorrows
and difficulties
through which people move on
with imperiled hope, enjoyments
and activities,
shivering at every step
at the awful vision
of the terrific grinning
of the darkened devil,—
that elates with hope and service,
raising them with a loving embrace
and responsibility
towards endurance,
and leads them to their welfare
and success
which they comprehend by being
led thus
--such a heart dwells in the Hero ;
to the call
113
of Sufferers !
CHEER UP !
Forbear thyself
but compel not one
who is unable
--to bear;
rather help him,
encourage him
and cheer him up !
GO AND RANSOM
THE FALLEN !
Go
and ransom the fallen
with your service,
soothing them
with a hopeful message
of elevation,
and carry them with the embrace
that elates,
infusing the psalm of life and love—
because unfortunate sighs
spread contagion
that deteriorates the fortunate !
114
THERE UNITY IS POSSIBLE !
Only there unity is possible
where every one is interested
in fulfilling
the interest
of One Beloved !
PEACE REMAINS WITH A
SMILING LOOK
Where survival of the Environment
is the interest
that enlivens the Individual,
and feel keenly
and become eager and active
to serve each other,—
Peace remains
with a smiling look uncalled-for !
MBECILE DEVOTEES !
Devotees are always enthroned
in ability :
hence imbecile devotees
are hypocrites ,—
though they resist to be so !
115
INFUSE NOT TERROR !
Cheer up every one
with courage
to push on to success and bliss ;—
but infuse not terror
to make one feeble,
depressed and imbecile !
IGNORE NOT THE
MATERIAL EMBODIMENT !
Let thy God be absolute ,—
but ignore not
the material Embodiment—
with whom He evolves to thee ;—
otherwise, it is vanity
in the extreme !
RESEMBLANCE OF
THE BELOVED
Fie on the lover
where any resemblance
of the Beloved
does not excite the heart
with an emotional thrill,
116
nor induces service !
WORSHIP AS IT MEANS
Worship appears
with a streamy becoming ability
that floods
with a sincere excelling of life
through service
and adorns one
with its meaning, worth-ship !
THE LAST FRAGMENT
OF YOUR WORSHIP
The last fragment
of your worship
is to seek and search the difficulties
of your environment
and to fulfill :
Verily, I say unto you,
until and unless you finish that
with love and sympathy,
your worship is deaf,
dull and dumb !
THE NAME OF LORD
THE BELOVED
117
The symbol
that reminds one of the Beloved
and makes the heart
uplift itself
with a throbbing,
palatable,
vita exuberance
that’s the name of
Lord The Beloved !
PRAYER LEADS ONE
TO ABILITY !
It is nothing but loquacity
when prayer or worship
does not excite
the inner thrill—
that leads one to be
soothed, solemn and able !
TO DRAW OUT THE HOLY
TALENT THAT LIES WITHIN !
Prayer is to draw out
the holy talent that lies within,
by a pursuit of praise
in a conscious pane—
118
that invigorates the heart
and accelerates ability
with an illuminating hope !
INSPIRATION
Holy idea or commandment
of
Love
that absorbs one
with the knowledge
that illuminates one’s
being and becoming
with a loftier move
is inspiration—
and therein dwells His Holiness !
LOVE, THE AMBROSIA
OF HEAVEN
Liking-sensation
which exalts
and makes interested
with the eager ceaseless hankering
to nourish
with an enlivening
willful service
119
and sufferance
and vitalizing self-contentment
is Love—
the ambrosia of heaven !
LOVER --THE
ONLY MIRACLE
Lover is always miraculous
to Love—
though she appreciates Him
ever with amaze !
MIRACLE ABATES LOVE
Liking and appreciation
always induces
inclination and love,
but miracle abates it
with an oscillation ignorance !
WHEN SCIENCE EMBRACES
RELIGION
When science embraces Religion
with meaning and means
keenly,
and fulfils each other
120
with kisses and riches,—
heaven comes down
through the royal road of knowledge
to flourish all—
with elixir and bliss !
MERCY
Mercy is the elixir
of trilling stream
of ability,—
so be able
to be ever merciful !
THEN KNEEL AND PRAY !
Forgive ye
and forget
with a warm uplift of sincere doings—
compromising
if there be any abuse
our of misunderstanding,—
then kneel and pray;—
otherwise the worship
will not reach unto Him
where He dwelleth—
in the church within you
121
and abroad !
SCIENCE, PHILOSOPHY
AND DHARMA
When science and philosophy
shrink
to fulfill life and needs
with an acceleration
towards perfection,
with a meaning of the principle
that holds the Being
with an emphasis
to Becoming ;
in a word
when they are lame
to fulfill with meaning and means
the Principle or Dharma,—
they are sham
and needless !
FORBEAR AND FORGIVE !
Forbear and forgive,
but let not it be
harmful to any one !
122
THE WAY TO KNOW
THE GRACE AND GOD
He, the Supreme Father
is ever unknown and unknowable—
but there—
only when
the Beloved,
the attached Son
is solely attached to His Grace,
and does and goes accordingly,
can only be known—
He in him :
so he is the father Embodied—
though he knows him as His child,
and thereby
he is The Way
to know the Grace and God
and God Himself in him—
the Source
of heaven,
peace
and happiness !
LAUGH, WEEP AND SPEAK
123
Laugh,—but not in jeer ;
Weep,—not out of self-interest
but from love and attachment ;
Speak,—but not
in self-applause !
WHERE ATTACHMENT IS
EXUBERANT
Father dwelleth
always in His creation
and leads unto life,
abiding within
--though untouchable,
unknowable,
unthinkable!—
But where attachment is exuberant,—
doings, dealings and thoughts
run with an acceleration
which declares accordingly,
He exposes Himself
in that very Embodiment :
verily,
verily,
it is determined—
He is in Him !
124
SHAM LOVE
Love
without loving activity
towards the Beloved
is Sham !
TRUE SERVICE
Service is service
when it elevates Being
and Becoming,
and that is the thing
which can make
one in power enormous !
IMBECILE SERVICE
Imbecile, mock-liking,
egoistic service
looks always for helping hand,—
being fettered
with a garrulous imposition
of fault !
REAL, RESURRECTION
OCCURS THERE !
125
The enlighted thousands souls
dazzled by the Beloved—
after His demise,
when the bereavement,
the expiry,—
in an exalted exuberance
of love with glorified praise—
bedewed with tears, affection and
enchanting tremor
revives Him—
in thousands of embodiments,
move on to fulfill Him and Him only—
really there
Resurrection occurs !
THE ELIXIR OF LIFE
TO ACQUIRE !
If there be
any elixir of life to acquire,
verily,
it is
concentrated,
restless,
elevating attachment
which keeps the being
126
zealous and joyful
in ceaseless
achievements !
LIFE, LOVE AND LIFT
What have you to attain
by which you can enjoy
with an exuberance and uplift
that elates with an inundation,
by which the environment
with self
exalts with a restless
peaceful and heavenly
shower ?—
It is Life, Love and Lift !—
And what to achieve—
the only achievement
without which every achievement
lies in a fruitless shore, death ?—
If there be anything
achieveable, lofty and hopeful,
it is to penetrate the depth of darkness
that lies in death enfolded
with a ray of clear conscious memory !
LEND THYSELF AND BE
127
BLESSED
Lend thyself
with humble approach
where an endeavour is going on
in a thrilling concert of beating hearts—
to furnish welfare
to any cause
that leads the people
towards being and becoming—
and be blessed thus !
INFINITE—THE
UNBOUNDED FINITE !
When finite
evolves into unbounded finite—
elating apprehension into immersion,
it is Infinite;—
and when
the unseen absolute and Infinite
becomes the object of
comprehension
dwindles
into incoherent
and insane ignorance !
128
PEACE BLOOMS WITH HER
CHILD—ACTIVITY !
Where love with all her
efficiency and drawbacks
aims at her lovely desired
with a tranquil convergence
of all wants and wishes
to enjoy and fulfill
and makes herself
easy, willful and exerting
to comply with the wishes
of the Beloved
upheaving his ability,—
Peace dwells there
blooming with her child,—
activity !
WHEN ATTACHMENT SHOUTS
WITH EAGER TREMOLO !
When attachment shouts
with eager tremolo,
rapping impulses rebound
with thrilling exuberance,
knowledge appears
with Revelation
129
to heal the sore
of sorrow
and
sufferings !
BE MISERLY
TO PRAISE YOURSELF
Be miserly
to praise yourself,
but generous
to please others
with a sincere attitude
and honourable zeal !
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
COMES DOWN
When Love
with all
her rights and riches,
environment and universe
adorns her Beloved—
embracing worship,
bedewed with the psalm
of a thrilling shower,
and sees Him significant
in herself and everywhere
130
with a wistful-soaring gaze,
and moves along the path
of blessed suffering,—
Kingdom of Heaven
comes down
blooming the flowers
of paradise
on earth !
WHEN HAVOC PEERS !
When havoc peers
through sufferings and distress,
howls and panic
hail over
a simple, sensitive, sincere,
attached Son—
Sympathy hoists fellow-feeling
with a tremor—
looks with a panic-stricken,
peaceful, helpless gaze
to subdue the terror
with a soothing hopeful nourishment,
knowledge and comprehension
are revealed as Gospel—
as a rescue
131
to the trodden sufferers !
MY FATHER !
My Father !
The Supreme, the omnipotent
all-pervading !
My heavenly heart !
The Beginning !
The Being that hath manifested !
My God,
Oh Thou, revealed in flesh and blood !
A Child of Thyself
to wash off
the sorrows and sufferings
with begotten blood !—
Let Thy blessing flush
the dirts that are onerous
and make me pure
and able
with a tilt of blissful joy !
SUCKLE ME !
My Father !
132
Oh my Good,
the God !
The Beginning !
Thy water—
Thy property that has come forth
as a manifestation of Thyself
nourishes me,
quenching the thirst
that makes life
disgusted and precarious
with choking chafe !
Cheer me up !
Suckle me
with Thy vitalizing fluid
as mother does her child !
Oh Thou—
the manifestation
of supreme affection !
Elate me up
in service of welfare
that enables me with a cheerful
sympathetic heart,
to uplift with thy elixir the beings
who suffer from
ignorant, obnoxious, distressing thrust !
133
SO AM I THY SON
EVER SOLEMN !
Thy Becoming
descends
illuminating beings into life
with sympathy and apathy—
whence the becoming uphill shower
scatters around
as manifestations—
the universe, the phenomena,
with sun, moon and stars
graced, beautiful and illuminated—
that I behold !—
I am also one them
though unlike in embodiment—
the child of Supreme Father
as they are !
The harm, the sin, the betrayal
that dwindles and deceives life
taking away far—afar
from Beloved Father
dives into forgetful ignorance !
Never can they touch
nor look at me !—
134
So am I thy son
ever solemn, ever pure,
ever affectionate—
and serviceable—
as my Father in heaven !
SAVE ME FROM THE SINS !
Oh thou the Sun,
The enlivening kiss
that irradiates from Heavenly Father !
Oh Thou Service,
the expression, the affection in action
of the Supreme Being !
and Thou the Servant,
the Master of services,
Crown of Bliss !
Save ye all myself
from the sin of unfulfilment
that recurs
from ignorance in serving my
environment !
Oh Night !—
the rest that is ordained
by Supreme Law !
Save me from the sins I do
135
with mind, with word, with hands
and feet and other limbs !
Banish them as thou banishest the visible
with Thy darkening devour !
I surrender that me—the sin-touched
unto the radiant,
illuminating energy
of my Supreme Father
that enlivens the being !
FLOW IN AND
ENLIVEN ME TOO !
Oh Thou Word !
Thy radiant ray
carrying the sun uphill
to expose the universe
with Thy beautiful varieties
raises up the amazing effulgence,
the sum—
the source of the fluids,
the atmosphere and fire—
enlightening with fulfillment
the welkin and the earth—
quickening in life the mobile and
the immobile :
136
Flow in
and enliven me too
with the flood of Thy light !
I pray unto Thee—
may I bow down to them
who know you,
salute them who teach to
worship Thee—
the seers and the sacred—
my obeisance unto the
accumulated experiences of man !
--unto the breath of life !
Let me salute Death
that ceaseth my becoming—
to be off from him !
My salutation to Thee—
the all-pervading,
the Lord Beloved !
RAISE ME UP UNTO THEE !
Thou Word—
the quickening thrill
that invigorates the life
and light of being,—
the diffused Bliss
137
that floods into earth,
atmosphere and wealth high—
that unfolds all that hath been
with a radiance,
bestowing a luminous life—
accelerating talents to move and do !
Let me meditate on Thee—
Thy shine !
Raise me up unto thee,—
Sparking with Thy heavenly
shower !
PILOT US ACROSS !
