                The Superconscient Pull 

 

The Upward Mental Pull,
Is Nature at her accelerating best !
In minds sattwo-rajasic, impassioned upwards,
( Occuring in evolved Sages ),
It is the master pull of Nature !
From Death to Self Actualisation,
( Mrityor Ma Amritam Gamaya ),
It pulls us with vehemence !
Fulfilling the evolutionary appetite,
Is this Superpersonal Pull !
Realising the Luminous Kingdom of Heaven,
In this ephemeral, animal body of earth
Fulfilling the Eternal Verity and Paradox,
Of a Divine Life in an animal body !
A plenary supramental illumination,
It does effectuate.
Infinite Freedom in stress transitory,
It does achieve.!
It does liberate,
Aspirant from suffering emotional,
Mental agitations and pain physical
Make a strategic retreat.
It is the Pull of the Guru,
Inspiration that pulls thee,
Making thy soul curious,
About its pregnant meeting with Infinity !
Tum Hi Prerana, Tum hi Sadhana,
Tum Hi Aradhana, mere samb Siva !
Prem ho tumhi Karuna ho Tumhi,
Moksh ho tumhi mere samb Siva !
This superconscient Pull,
Deriveth from the Superconscious Might,
Which uses the aspirant,
As a Center for its  play formidable ! 
Knowledge of Superconscient Absolute,
Is the only real Knowledge !
Both operative and intuitive,
It unveils Reality !
Tureeya Brahan is only Reality,
Rest are its manifestations !
Swapna, Jagrata and Sushupti,
Are constructs of Mind !
Mind is the villain,
Mind veils Reality
Grace of Guru destroys Enemy,
Greatest enemy of ours – Mind.
Consciousness functions like a mirror,
Filled as it is with changing perceptions
Because of this property,
It cannot experience itself.
When the Mirror views its own reflections,
This Universe shineth in thee !
In thee, Ego and infirmities are dominant,
Hence the Ego should go !
Kannadi thannil pratibimbam kanumbol,
Ninnil Thilangumee Lokamellam !
Swacchamam Darpanam illa Ninnil,
Icchamam nin Malabandham nenjil !
In the Sky of Consciousness, Chit Akasa,
Self Realisation shines like gold !
Ego obstructs this Moonlight,
Remove Ego and actualise Truth !
There are only two,
Symbols and Experience !
Symbols Perpetual are Jagat, Jiva and Para,
Whereas I AM SELF is the Experience !
Without Vision of Self Absolute,
There is no Prajnana, knowledge transcendent !
Atma hai Vibhu aur Prabhu Darsh Vina,
Prajnan (Anubhav Jnan ) Nahee !
Guru Hai Pooja,
Guru Hai Mata, Pita,
Guru Hai  Bandhu Sakha,
Guru Hai Bhagavan !
Premamarna Guruvin Prasadamam,
Kshema moolam iha loka shishyaril,
Guru’s Grace conferreth all,
Wealth, prosperity and Self Realisation !

 

Bridal Mysticism has it,
That Self is the Lover & Bride
Priyatam Ho Thumhi Prananath Thumhi
Moksh Ho Tumhi   mere samb Siva !
Thy Bridal Chamber is lit,
With Blissful Light Celestial
Atma Rathi or Divya Rathi
Is million times more powerful !
We are wounded in Love,
In the House of our friends,
So that by that Love,
We may be made whole !
In Love we see, we feel,
We hear, we think, we understand,
When we go amidst men,
Sub Specie Love, under the aspect of Love !
These we understand,
Are primary needs for one,
In comradeship perpetual,
With Love Eternal !

Two Magnificent Tributes

Changanpuzha’s tribute to Kalidasa reminded one of the magnificent tribute
to Dante by Longfellow.

I enter, I see thee in the gloom,
OF the long aisles, O Poet Saturnine !

( Saturn, the Melancholy Planet,
Was rising at Dante’s Nativity )

Thy Sacred Song is like the Trump of Doom,
And in thy bosom what human sympathies,
What soft compassion glows; as in the skies,
The tender stars with their shaded lamps relume.

With snow white veil and garments of flame,
She ( Beatrice ) stands beforee thee who not long ago,
Filled thy young  heart with the passion and the woe,
From which thy Song and and all its splendors came !

I wake amaze and in the windows bright,
Shine the forms of holy who died,
Hereafter martyred,
And hereafter crucified.

And the Great Rose upon its leaves displays,
Love’s triumph and the angellc roundelays,
With splendor upon splendor multiplied,
And Beatrice again at Dante’s side !

O star of Morning and Liberty,
O Bringer of the Light, whose splendor
Shines above darkness of Alps,
Forerunner of the day that is to be !

About Kalidasa, the Poet Laureate of Kerala wrote,

Centuries may have come and gone,
After thy rise in the Orient,
But in the eternal horizon of Universal Memory,
Thou art the star which changeth not !

O intellectual great ! Thou lit a Coral Light,
In the bosom of universal culture !
Into that Silver Light of Poetry,
Human intellects are magnetically drawn !

 
In the holiest of holy lands,
Wherein the Geetha is dissolved,
Any Poetry which sprouts,
Will come to sacred fruition.
 
Unlike clouds that disappear
Love alters not nor wanes
Thou madest such clouds sIng Love ETERNAL
In Thy noble poem, Megha Sandesa !
 
Thou taught Justice and Rghteousness,
Though the Greatest Exemplar, Lord Rama,
One of the greatest Exemplars,
Lord proved that Dharma is all in all!
 
Thou made the Divine Mother
Shine eternally like the Eternal lover !
Pining eternally for Her Beloved,
In mighty Kumara Sambhava
 
Thy statue worshipping Lord Shiva
Became one of the greatest  ever
In World Sculpture,the classic Immortal Lover,
Pining for Purusha, Her Lord.
 
Thou made a statement grand.
That  that the  body comes first ,before all.
Without Body, no Self Actualisation,
Sareeram Adyam Khalu Dharma Sadhanam !
 
Thou defined Self as Universe pervading
Ya Sthita Vyapya Viswam ………
Thou defined HIm as Atheist greatest,
As to Him, there is no principle higher !

What is the esoteric.
Meaning of the above words,
Uttered by the divine Aurobindo,
Founder of Integral Yoga ?
 “Transcend Thyself,
Become Thyself !
True nature of Man
Is to be more than himself !
Man is a political animal,
He is influenced by factors five,
Education, Environment,
Exposure, Experience and the Genetic.
” These are the five intervening variables,
Which intermediate in the causal equation”,
Averred the  great Tolman,
Father of Motivational Psychology !
Transcend thyself means,
To transcend thy political self,
Political self is Mr Hyde or Diti,
As all men are Machiavellis !
Become Thyself means,
To become thy true self,
Self aligned to Conscience,
Self which is wholly Positive !
The whole nature of Man,
Is to be more than himself,
Evolution is forward oriented
From amoeba to Man Divine !
Man carries cultural baggage,
Ruled as he is by the ego function
Ego is Msn’s weakness.
And the  imperfect term in him !
Evil continues to be a formidable force,
In Man. Until Evil is destroyed,
And Light invades the inconscient base,
He will have to battle it out within himself !
Evil is the hidden foe lodged in humans,
Man has to overcome  this mighty adversary,
Or miss his Fate Divine,
This is the inner war ineluctable !
Never think the Way is easy,
Long, difficult, dangerous it is !
Thou shalt be tested,
By both Heaven and Earth !
Heaven will subject thee,
To pitiless trials and tribulations.
Hell will open its mouth,
To threaten and wound thee !
Spirituality develops only,
Under peculiar adversity
It seems He polishes his jewels
With the diamond dust of Adversity !
Like an Aurobindo having Universal Vision,
In the confinesof a jail !
Or like Jesus crying out loud,
” Father, why has thou forsaken me ?”
Or like, Melpathur, unable to move,
When he worked on his magnum opus.
Or like, Poonthanam writing Jnanappana,
After the death of his son !
Or like Dante, disappointed in love,
When he composed Divina Comedia !
Or like the great TIlak,
When he composed Gita Rahasya in jail !
Shloka, verse, arises from Shoka, sorrow,
Tasso’s was a sorrowful life.
So was Keats’ and all the greats,
Suffered more than commoners !
Wise Poets defined it as the Razor’s Edge,
Maugham wrote a book about it !
We have to walk on Razor’s Edge alone,
Lean is the path and way unknown !
Enlightenment is Release,
From Ego’s tutelage !
This can only be effected,
By aligning with Self Divine
Divine alchemy is Yoga,
Human is transmuted to Divine
From Animal Man to Human Man
And finally to Divine Man.Â
