3rd quarter @ Aslesha

Knowledge is always of the past. Knowing is always here and now.

Past must cease, for present to be. And knowledge must cease, for knowing to be.

Knowing is alive.
Knowledge is dead.
Weda means knowledge.
Wedas cannot reach Supreme Consciousness.

So in India, we have a very strange word - Wedanta, going beyond wedas.

Knowing enlivens, knowledge is dead - Osho

A bee is referred variously as Bhringam, - the buzzer - Bhramaram, - the whirler -  Madhupam - nectar guzzler.

When used as metaphor for movements of five senses and mind, Sancara chooses the word Shat-pada - the six footed.

In his six-versed poem of Shatpadi, he prays for both Shanti and Danthi. Tradition eulogises Shankaracharya as, Shanti Danthi Boomnam.

Joy Of Being

If you can sing with love and dance with love . . .
- an ordinary activity as whirling out of love - 
. . . joy and celebration are enough to reach the innermost sanctum of existence.

Sheltered are the choice-less;  wretched are result seekers


- Battlefield counsel,   Chapter 2,  Verse 49

moon of murshid

The word Guru means heavy.

Guru is a heavy cloud, that waits for your thirst - to pour down.

Guru is a flower, heavy with perfume - waiting for you to sense it.

Guru is heavy with energy and the unknown.

Guru is heavy with the Divine - heavy like a woman pregnant.

Guru is a ripe fruit, waiting to fall - heavy.

Guru is ready to pour down - only your thirst is needed. A thirsty earth is needed.

- The Great Teaching,
Tantra: the supreme understanding - Osho

Subdued transcend to the eternal

Un-subdued get mired in unconscious confusion.

Wedas emphasise sacrifice.

Sacrifice needs fiery intensity.

Among all gods, Murugan personifies fire - as Shiva personifies space.

And he is known as Agni Bu hu.

Amara's Thesaurus lists him as
Senaani hi, Agni Bu hu, Guha ha.

Formless self that dwells in the cave of one's heart, finds expression in the world, as flame and fiery intensity.

- Shri Chandrashekarendra Saraswati, Kanchi.
