Goodbye Mary

Luna

In the early curtains
  of the dusk
     it flew,
        a slow galloping
this way and that way
  through the trees
     and under the trees.
        I live
in the open mindedness
  of not knowing enough
     about anything.
        It was beautiful.
It was silent.
  It didn’t even have a mouth.
     But it wanted something,
        it had a purpose
and a few precious hours
  to find it,
     and I suppose it did.
        The next evening
it lay on the ground
  like a broken leaf
     and didn’t move,
        which hurt my heart
which is another small thing
  that doesn’t know much.
     When this happened it was about
        the middle of summer,
which also has its purposes
  and only so many precious hours.
     How quietly,
        and not with any assignment from us,
or even a small hint
  of understanding,
     everything that needs to be done
        is done.

Beloved Poet Mary Oliver, Who Believed Poetry ‘Mustn’t Be Fancy,’ Dies At 83

Nameless

DidiArtist, Kirpal Singh, Mary Oliver, SATSANGS/RETREATS

From a careful and unbiased study of the sacred books of the world we find that there is one Reality, which is our goal. That Reality is termed God and by various other names.

God made man, and man made worldly religions. Such religions were made for the uplift of man. We have to make the best use of them so that ultimately we may know ourselves and then know God.

Religion has two aspects: One is the social side, or the outward side. The other aspect is the inner religion, the spiritual side. We have to start with outer forms of religions. Man is social; he must remain in some society.

Each society has its own various ceremonies and rituals, its own scriptures, its own mode of saying prayers. This is the non-essential side. We have to remain in some social religion because man is a social being – and to remain in some social religion is a blessing. But that is an elementary step – our going to churches or other holy places of worship, saying prayers, reading the scriptures, observing certain ceremonies, and rituals. All these go to create love in us for God.

But if our performance of rituals, reading of the scriptures or attending the churches or other holy places of worship does not even create in us love of God and constitutes mere mental gymnastics, these lead us nowhere. That does not mean that you are not to live in any social religion. You are to do so. If you revolt against it, you will have to form another society.

Those who follow the letter of the rule, simply forget the spirit and fight only for the apparent differences. In Arabia, where there is a dearth of water, there is a custom that whenever you say prayers, you should just wash your hands, feet, face, and then sit for prayers. In other countries where there is an abundance of water, they say that until you take a bath, it will not be right to sit for prayers. That is only an apparent difference on account of the climatic or geographical conditions of the place.

We have to live in some social religion. So it is better to remain where you are. Do not change, if it can be helped. While there, what should you do? Just read the holy scriptures –the sayings of the Masters– you have, and try to understand what they say, and live up to them.

This is what you find: All Masters who came in the past were the children of Light, and came to give Light to the world. They did not come for any special religion or special country. They came for all humanity.

It is now time to cast aside the trivial differences that exist – the non-essentials. We should just look to the purpose for which they were made, and open our eyes to the Reality that we are all worshipping the same God. These were meant to represent that Reality which exists.

Now you will find, from the standpoint of all religions, that God the absolute is beyond what is known and manifested. That is something even beyond what is supporting and creating all creation. That Reality is at the back of everything. Can we search Him or find Him? No. He cannot be searched. He is unsearchable.

Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty? The Almighty is inexpressible and cannot be expressed in words.

Names are simply given by the Masters to express that Reality, which is really inexpressible. He is the Changeless One. You find: “Forever more, O Lord, Thy Word existed in Heaven.” Forever more – that is the lasting Reality and that is the Changeless One. Ultimately, it is unconditioned and undivided. He is the Nameless One.

– Sant Kirpal Singh

Thank you dearest Didi.

Innumerable blessings for all. 💜🙏 Leon

If you would like to be receiving little reminders of the Divine Love we are:

.

Wäre das Wort „Danke“ das einzige Gebet, das Du je sprichst, so würde es genügen.

.

Αν η λέξη “Ευχαριστώ” ήταν η μοναδική προσευχή που έλεγες ποτέ, θα ήταν αρκετή.

.

Were the words “Thank you” the only prayer you ever uttered, it would be enough.

~ Meister Eckhart

 

Contemplating Psalm 46:10

Be still, and know that I am God

.

Be still and know that I Am

Be still and know

Be still
