Day 21. Reflection-1

 

It is time to shift the gear again. In the last 20 blogs, we have seen a variety of inputs, that will hasten our step towards spiritual emancipation, if backed by needed efforts.

 In this section, some poems will be cited for self-reflection.

(NB: one must read the full poem/meaning available on the net).

I am indeed grateful and thankful to our spiritual guru, Swami Parthasarathy, who in 1978 introduced us to the importance of poems in understanding philosophical and spiritual matters vide his master piece Vedanta Treatise and lectures.

I wanted to actually start with some poems in English and was ready  to post one. Then I suddenly came across this beautiful bhajan, as if God prompted.

Hence, I start with this one where  Saint Kabir states that he will sing FEARLESSLY about the attribute-less Brahman. the word fearlessness is repeated again and again, which is the theme of this blog too. 

These verses convey the spiritual path and the goal in a very subtle manner.

निरभय निरगुण गुण रे गाऊंगा

मूल कमल दृढ आसन बांधूजी, उलटी पवन चढाऊंगा ||

मन ममता को थिर कर लाऊंजी, पांचों तत्व मिलाऊंगा ||

इंगला, पिंगला, सुखमन नाडीजी, तिरवेणी पर हों न्हाऊंगा ||

पांच पचीसों पकड मंगाऊंजी, एक ही डोर लगाऊंगा ||

शून्य शिखर पर अनहद बजेजी, राग छत्तीस सुनाऊंगा ||

कहत कबीरा सुनो भाई साधोजी, जीत निशान धुराऊंगा ||

I am not giving line by line translation. One must walk the talk in the spiritual path. More over the translation and explanations are now easily available  on the mobile itself. Open, read and enjoy the depth of the Bhajan.

Being a spiritual blog, I am happy that I could lay my hands on this mystic poem.

Be happy. Be safe.
