The Nativity

Andrea Mantegna "Madonna with Sleeping Child"
The paradox of a God incarnated is a mystery of God as a newborn or as a little child. The newborn Child, defenceless and totally dependent on the parental care, entrusted to their love, is the world’s entire wealth. The Prologue of John is one of the Gospel readings for Christmas Day. It is so well known it really does not need repeating. But mysterious enough, and it is a way to communicate mystically with us.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be.

What came to be through him was life,
and this life was the light of the human race;
the light shines in the darkness,

and the darkness has not overcome it...The true light, which enlightens everyone,
was coming into the world.
He was in the world, and the world came to be through him,

but the world did not know him."

He was born in the night – in the darkness, in the silence and poverty of the cave where, as Saint Paul says, "God’s grace has been revealed". So let's hope for this Grace, let's heal all our wounds, open our hearts and minds to "the loving kindness of the heart of God who visits us like the dawn from on high"(Lk 1:78)

Traditional Italian Christmas carol, simple and gentle -
Tu Scendi dalle Stelle ("You Come Down From The Stars")

 

You come down from the stars
Oh King of Heavens,
And you come in a cave
In the cold, in the frost.
And you come in a cave
In the cold, in the frost.

Oh my Divine Baby
I see you trembling here,
Oh Blessed God
Ah, how much it cost you,
Your loving me.
Ah, how much it cost you,
Your loving me.

For you, who are of all the world
The creator,
No robes and fire,
Oh my Lord,
No robes and fire,
Oh my Lord.

Dear chosen one, little infant,
This dire poverty,
Makes me love you more.
Since Love made you
Poor now.
Since Love made you
Poor now.
Peace be with you! 
Merry Christmas!

The Journey of the Magi

James Joseph Jacques Tissot "The Journey of the Magi"
Three magi were, according to Bible, three wise men from the East who visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Different sources define differently their origin: they were from Arabia, Persia, India, or Yemen. Probably they were astrologers of the Persian court and priests of the cult of Mithras, but were later redefined as kings, based on a similar story of royal gift-giving in the Old Testament (Psalms 72:10). About 750 AD, they were given names, Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, and were said to come from the kingdoms of Tarshish, Sheba and Seba. From about the 15th century, Balthazar, the black magus/king associated with Ethiopia became a familiar figure in European images of the Adorati on of Christ at his birth.
  
Andrea Mantegna "The Adoration of the Magi"
Who were they? The scholars or the theologians, the experts that know everything about the Sacred Scriptures, the possible interpretations? Those who are able to recite by heart every passage and hence are a precious help to those who wish to follow the way of God. But the main, I think, is that for them the Scriptures not just an ensemble of words and concepts to examine, but the guide to action. And they do not remain immobile, they walk.

It is a fine poem of the remarkable author, G. K. Chesterton
The Wise Men
Step softly, under snow or rain,
To find the place where men can pray;
The way is all so very plain
That we may lose the way.

Oh, we have learnt to peer and pore
On tortured puzzles from our youth,
We know all the labyrinthine lore,
We are the three wise men of yore,
And we know all things but truth.

We have gone round and round the hill
And lost the wood among the trees,
And learnt long names for every ill,
And serve the made gods, naming still
The furies the Eumenides.

The gods of violence took the veil
Of vision and philosophy,
The Serpent that brought all men bale,
He bites his own accursed tail,
And calls himself Eternity.

Go humbly ... it has hailed and snowed...
With voices low and lanterns lit;
So very simple is the road,
That we may stray from it.

The world grows terrible and white,
And blinding white the breaking day;
We walk bewildered in the light,
For something is too large for sight,
And something much too plain to say.

The Child that was ere worlds begun
(... We need but walk a little way,
We need but see a latch undone...)
The Child that played with moon and sun
Is playing with a little hay.

The house from which the heavens are fed,
The old strange house that is our own,
Where trick of words are never said,
And Mercy is as plain as bread,
And Honour is as hard as stone.

Go humbly, humble are the skies,
And low and large and fierce the Star;
So very near the Manger lies
That we may travel far.

Hark! Laughter like a lion wakes
To roar to the resounding plain.
And the whole heaven shouts and shakes,
For God Himself is born again,
And we are little children walking
Through the snow and rain.

Pearl

 The mysterious beauty of Pearls, their purity and rarity always attract the people. Considered as a certain divine gift, Pearls have been incorporated into the mythology of every culture and have long been attributed with having great powers.
The Persians called them children of light and believed they were the tears of God. Almost many magical stones mentioned in Arabian, Chinese, and other Eastern tales or legends actually refer to magical pearls.
In Hindu culture, pearls were associated with the Moon and were symbols of love and purity. Hindu texts say that Krishna discovered the first pearl, which he presented to his daughter on her wedding day.
Chapter 69 of Garuda Purana describes seven other types of pearls besides Oyster Pearl (Chandra-moti), viz., pearl from Conch shell (Shankh-moti), Wild Boar’s head (Varaha-moti), Elephant’s head (Gaja-moti), Cobra’s head (Naga-moti or Nagamani), Bamboo stems (Venu-moti), Fish head (Matsya-moti), and from the sky and clouds (Akash-moti or Megh-moti). Naga Mani or Cobra pearl is the rare magical item from Naga Loka. While many Cobra Pearls are literally very bright, we can suppose that its nature of effulgence does not necessarily be external, but possessive of an inner brightness that is visible intuitively and that will clearly impress beyond just the eyes.  Sri Naga Mani have some function of lighting the way in the dark, so that even the most lost can find their way out. And this Perle is maybe some of a Heavenly spark to light the way of Truth even in the darkest of circumstances.
It corresponds with other mythical creatures. Dragons, for instance, in Chinese lore, are known to guard pearls - these pearls are actually produced by them rather than acquired from some external source. This ball with its comma-mark  commonly interpreted as a symbol of yang and yin but remains nevertheless rather mysterious element of the Chinese mythology. There are traces of the importance of the ‘sacred pearl’ of wisdom, or yang energy, in early Taoism, but it is best preserved in Buddhism as the jewel in the lotus, the mani, in the formula Om mani padme hum - "Jewel that grants all desires". The mystical flaming pearl, rendered as a small red or white sphere ringed by a fiery blaze, is often viewed as a metaphor for wisdom, enlightenment and spiritual essence.
Detail of chinese gunfu, official Manchu court robe.
 Chinese Buddhists, identifying the Dragon with the Naga, also identified the ball with their cintamani or precious pearl which grants all desires. In the "Nihongi", the Empress Jingo-Kogo found in the sea "a jewel which grants all desires," apparently the same lost by the frightened Naga Maidens. She also obtained from the submarine palace of the dragon-king the ebb-jewel (kan-ja) and the flood-jewel (man-ja), by which she was able, on at least one important occasion, to control the tides; they are described in the Nihongi as about five sun long, the former white and the latter blue - the colour of the east, whence rain comes; and the moon is controller of the oceanic tides.
Pearls in Islamic tradition holds pearls in even higher regard. The Quran speaks of pearls as one of the great rewards found in Paradise, and the gem itself has become a symbol of perfection.
The Messenger of Allah said, : "I was made to enter Paradise, and in it are stones of pearls". "Verily, for the believer in Paradise there is a pavilion made of a single, hallow pearl. Its length is 60 miles. The believer has wives that he goes to, from one to the other, yet they do not see one another."
In Christianity, of the New Jerusalem, St John wrote:"The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass” (Revelation 21: 18-21).
But at the same time this jewelry is present not only at Paradise but also in us. And "Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you."( Matthew 7:6)

So let's be careful with our most valuable gift, the precious Pearl which we cannot let be taken from us.

Yaksha asked Yudhisthira

Peter Brook's film "The Mahabharata"
This episode is found in the Aranya Parva part of the Mahabharata. One day while living in exile in the forest, Maharaja Yudhisthira, the son of Dharmaraja, finds that while attempting to drink water from a lake, all his brothers have been killed by a mysterious Yaksha (a celestial entity). When Yudhisthira arrives, the Yaksha challenges him to answer all his questions or else face the same consequences as his brothers. These questions-answers are like Vedic sutras, short, pithy and practical, and deal with piety and religiosity.

The Yaksha then said, What is it that makes the Sun rise? Who keeps him company? Who causes him to set? And in whom is he established?

Yudhishthira answered, Brahma makes the Sun rise: the gods keep him company: Dharma causes him to set: and he is established in truth.

The Yaksha asked, By what does one become learned? By what does he attain what is very great? How can one have a second? And, O king, how can one acquire ntelligence?

Yudhishthira answered, It is by the Srutis that a person becomes learned; it is by ascetic austerities that one acquires what is very great: it is by intelligence that a person acquires a second and it is by serving the old that one becomes wise.

The Yaksha asked, What constitutes the divinity of the Brahmanas? What even is their practice that is like that of the pious? What also is the human attribute of the Brahmanas? And what practice of theirs is like that of the impious?

Yudhishthira answered, The study of the Vedas constitutes their divinity: their asceticism constitutes behaviour that is like that of the pious; their liability to death is their human attribute and slander is their impiety.

The Yaksha asked, What institutes the divinity of the Kshatriyas? What even is their practice that is like that of the pious? What is their human attribute? And what practice of theirs is like that of the impious?

Yudhishthira answered, Arrows and weapons are their divinity: celebration of sacrifices is that act which is like that of the pious: liability to fear is their human attribute; and refusal of protection is that act of theirs which is like that of the impious.

The Yaksha asked, What is that which constitutes the Sama of the sacrifice? What the Yajus of the sacrifice? What is that which is the refuge of a sacrifice? And what is that which sacrifice cannot do without?

Yudhishthira answered, Life is the Sama of the sacrifice; the mind is the Yajus of the sacrifice: the Rik is that which is the refuge of the sacrifice; and it is Rik alone which sacrifice cannot do without.

The Yaksha asked, What is of the foremost value to those that cultivate? What is of the foremost value to those that sow? What is of the foremost value to those that wish for prosperity in this world? And what is of the foremost value to those
that bring forth?

Yudhishthira answered, That which is of the foremost value to those that cultivate is rain: that of the foremost value to those that sow is seed: that of the foremost value to those that bring forth is offspring.

The Yaksha asked, What person, enjoying all the objects of the senses, endued with intelligence, regarded by the world and liked by all beings, though breathing, is not yet alive?

Yudhishthira answered, The person, who does not offer anything to these five, viz., gods, guests, servants, Pitris, and himself, though endued with breath, is not yet alive.

The Yaksha asked, What is weightier than the earth itself? What is higher than the heavens?' What is fleeter than the wind? And what is more numerous than grass?

Yudhishthira answered, The mother is weightier than the earth; the father is higher than the heaven; the mind is fleeter than the wind; and our thoughts are
more numerous than grass.

The Yaksha asked, What is that which does not close its eyes while asleep; What is that which does not move after birth? What is that which is without heart? And what is that which swells with its own impetus?

Yudhishthira answered, A fish does not close its eyes while asleep: an egg does not move after birth: a stone is without heart: and a river swells with its own impetus.

The Yaksha asked, Who is the friend of the exile? Who is the friend of the householder? Who is the friend of him that ails? And who is the friend of one about to die?

Yudhishthira answered, The friend of the exile in a distant land is his companion, the friend of the householder is the wife; the friend of him that ails is the physician: and the friend of him about to die is charity.

The Yaksha asked, Who is the guest of all creatures? What is the eternal duty? What, O foremost of kings, is Amrita? And what is this entire Universe?

Yudhishthira answered, Agni is the guest of all creatures: the milk of cows is amrita: Homa is the eternal duty: and this Universe consists of air alone.

The Yaksha asked, What is that which sojourns alone? What is that which is re-born after its birth? What is the remedy against cold? And what is the largest field?

Yudhishthira answered, The sun sojourns alone; the moon takes birth anew: fire is the remedy against cold: and the Earth is the largest field.

The Yaksha asked, What is the highest refuge of virtue? What of fame? What of heaven? And what, of happiness?

Yudhishthira answered, Liberality is the highest refuge of virtue: gift, of fame: truth, of heaven: and good behaviour, of happiness.

The Yaksha asked, What is the soul of man? Who is that friend bestowed on man by the gods? What is man's chief support? And what also is his chief refuge?

Yudhishthira answered, The son is a man's soul: the wife is the friend bestowed on man by the gods; the clouds are his chief support; and gift is his chief refuge.

The Yaksha asked, What is the best of all laudable things? What is the most valuable of all his possessions? What is the best of all gains? And what is the best of all kinds of happiness?

Yudhishthira answered, The best of all laudable things is skill; the best of all possessions is knowledge: the best of all gains is health: and contentment is the best of all kinds of happiness.

The Yaksha asked, What is the highest duty in the world? What is that virtue which always bears fruit? What is that which if controlled, leads not to regret? And who are they with whom an alliance cannot break?

Yudhishthira answered, The highest of duties is to refrain from injury: the rites ordained in the Three (Vedas) always bear fruit: the mind, if controlled, leads to no regret: and an alliance with the good never breaks.

The Yaksha asked, What is that which, if renounced, makes one agreeable? What is that which, if renounced, leads to no regret? What is that which, if renounced, makes one wealthy? And what is that which if renounced, makes one happy?

Yudhishthira answered, Pride, if renounced, makes one agreeable; wrath, if renounced leads to no regret: desire, if renounced, makes one wealthy: and avarice, if renounced, makes one happy.

The Yaksha asked, For what does one give away to Brahmanas? For what to mimes and dancers? For what to servants? And for what to king?

Yudhishthira answered, It is for religious merit that one gives away to Brahmanas: it is for fame that one gives away to mimes and dancers: it is for supporting them that one gives away to servants: and it is for obtaining relief from fear that one gives to kings.

The Yaksha asked, With what is the world enveloped? What is that owing to which a thing cannot discover itself? For what are friends forsaken? And for what does one fail to go to heaven?

Yudhishthira answered, The world is enveloped with darkness. Darkness does not permit a thing to show itself. It is from avarice that friends are forsaken. And it is connection with the world for which one fails to go to heaven.

The Yaksha asked, For what may one be considered as dead? For what may a kingdom be considered as dead? For what may a Sraddha be considered as dead? And for what, a sacrifice?

Yudhishthira answered, For want of wealth may a man be regarded as dead. A kingdom for want of a king may be regarded as dead. A Sraddha that is performed with the aid of a priest that has no learning may be regarded as dead. And a sacrifice in which there are no gifts to Brahmanas is dead.

The Yaksha asked,--'What constitutes the way? What, has been spoken of as water? that, as food? And what, as poison? Tell us also what is the proper time of a Sraddha, and then drink and take away as much as you liked!

Yudhishthira answered, They that are good constitute the way. Space has been spoken of as water. The cow is food. A request is poison. And a Brahmana is regarded as the proper time of a Sraddha. I do not know what you may think of all this, O Yaksha?

The Yaksha asked, What has been said to be the sign of asceticism? And what is true restraint? What constitutes forgiveness. And what is shame?

Yudhishthira answered, Staying in one's own religion is asceticism: the restraint of the mind is of all restraints the true one: forgiveness consists in enduring enmity; and shame, in withdrawing from all unworthy acts.

The Yaksha asked, What, O king is said to be knowledge? What, tranquility? What constitutes mercy? And what has been called simplicity?

Yudhishthira answered, True knowledge is that of Divinity. True tranquility is that of the heart. Mercy consists in wishing happiness to all. And simplicity is equanimity of heart.

The Yaksha asked, What enemy is invincible? What constitutes an incurable disease for man? What sort of a man is called honest and what dishonest?

Yudhishthira answered, Anger is an invincible enemy. Covetousness constitutes an incurable disease. He is honest that desires the weal of all creatures, and he is dishonest who is unmerciful.

The Yaksha asked, What, O king, is ignorance? And what is pride? What also is to be understood by idleness? And what has been spoken of as grief?

Yudhishthira answered, True ignorance consists in not knowing one's duties. Pride is a consciousness of one's being himself an actor or sufferer in life. Idleness consists in not discharging one's duties, and ignorance in grief.

The Yaksha asked, What has steadiness been said by the Rishis to be? And what, patience? What also is a real ablution? And what is charity?

Yudhishthira answered, Steadiness consists in one's staying in one's own religion, and true patience consists in the subjugation of the senses. A true bath consists in washing the mind clean of all impurities, and charity consists in protecting all creatures.

The Yaksha asked, What man should be regarded as learned, and who should be called an atheist? Who also is to be called ignorant? What is called desire and what are the sources of desire? And what is envy?

Yudhishthira answered, He is to be called learned who knows his duties. An atheist is he who is ignorant and so also he is ignorant who is an atheist. Desire is due to objects of possession, and envy is nothing else than grief of heart.

The Yaksha asked, What is pride, and what is hypocrisy? What is the grace of the gods, and what is wickedness?

Yudhishthira answered, Stolid ignorance is pride. The setting up of a religious standard is hypocrisy. The grace of the gods is the fruit of our gifts, and wickedness consists in speaking ill of others.

The Yaksha asked, Virtue, profit, and desire are opposed to one another. How could things thus antagonistic to one another exist together?

Yudhishthira answered, When a wife and virtue agree with each other, then all the three you have mentioned may exist together.

The Yaksha asked, Who is he that is condemned to everlasting hell? It behooves you to soon answer the question that I ask!

Yudhishthira answered, He that summons a poor Brahmana promising to make him a gift and then tells him that he has nothing to give, goes to everlasting hell. He also must go to everlasting hell, who imputes falsehood to the Vedas, the scriptures, the Brahmanas, the gods, and the ceremonies in honour of the Pitris, He also goes to everlasting hell who though in possession of wealth, never gives away nor enjoys himself from avarice, saying, he has none.

The Yaksha asked, By what, O king, birth, behaviour, study, or learning does a person become a Brahmana? Tell us with certitude!

Yudhishthira answered, Listen, O Yaksha! It is neither birth, nor study, nor learning, that is the cause of Brahmanahood, without doubt, it is behaviour that constitutes it. One's behaviour should always be well-guarded, especially by a Brahmana. He who maintains his conduct unimpaired, is never impaired himself. Professors and pupils, in fact, all who study the scriptures, if addicted to wicked habits, are to be regarded as illiterate wretches. He only is learned who performs his religious duties. He even that has studied the four Vedas is to be regarded as a wicked wretch scarcely distinguishable from a Sudra (if his conduct be not correct). He only who performs the Agnihotra and has his senses under control, is called a Brahmana!

The Yaksha asked, What does one gain that speaks agreeable words? What does he gain that always acts with judgment? What does he gain that has many friends? And what he, that is devoted to virtue?

Yudhishthira answered, He that speaks agreeable words becomes agreeable to all. He that acts with judgment obtains whatever he seeks. He that has many friends lives happily. And he that is devoted to virtue obtains a happy state (in the next world).

The Yaksha asked, Who is truly happy? What is most wonderful? What is the path? And what is the news? Answer these four questions of mine and let your dead brothers revive.

Yudhishthira answered, O amphibious creature, a man who cooks in his own house, on the fifth or the sixth part of the day, with scanty vegetables, but who is not in debt and who stirs not from home, is truly happy. Day after day countless creatures are going to the abode of Yama, yet those that remain behind believe themselves to be immortal. What can be more wonderful than this? Argument leads to no certain conclusion, the Srutis are different from one another; there is not even one Rishi whose opinion can be accepted by all; the truth about religion and duty is hid in caves: therefore, that alone is the path along which the great have trod. This world full of ignorance is like a pan. The sun is fire, the days and nights are fuel. The months and the seasons constitute the wooden ladle. Time is the cook that is cooking all creatures in that pan (with such aids); this is the news.

The Yaksha asked, You have, O repressor of foes, truly answered all my questions! Tell us now who is truly a man, and what man truly possesses every kind of wealth.

Yudhishthira answered, The report of one's good action reaches heaven and spreads over the earth. As long as that report lasts, so long is a person to whom the agreeable and the disagreeable, weal and woe, the past and the future, are the same, is said to possess every kind of wealth.

 Pleased by the answers of Yudhisthira, the Yaksha who was none other than Dharmaraja (the father of Yudhisthira and the embodiment of religiosity) revives all the brothers of Yudhisthira and offers him many benedictions.

FORGIVE ME GOD
From "The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna"

Even before I saw the light of this world,
my sins from previous births,
Through which I passed because of desire
for the fruit of my deeds, 
Punished me as I lay in my mother’s womb.
There I was boiled in the midst of filthy things:
Who can describe the pain that afflicts the child
in its mother’s womb?
Therefore, O Shiva! O Mahadeva! O Shambhu! 
Forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

In childhood my suffering never came to an end;
My body was covered with filth
and I craved for my mother’s breasts.
Over my body and limbs I had no control;
I was pursued by troublesome flies and mosquitoes;
Day and night I cried with the pain of many an ailment,
forgetting Thee, O Shankara!
Therefore, O Shiva! O Mahadeva! O Shambhu! 
Forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

In youth the venomous snakes of sound, sight,
taste, touch, and smell,  
Bit into my vitals and slew my discrimination
I was engrossed in the pleasures of wealth,
sons, and a youthful wife.
Alas! My heart, bereft of the thought of Shiva, 
Was filled with arrogance and pride,
Therefore, O Shiva! O Mahadeva! O Shambhu! 
Forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

Now in old age my senses have lost the power
of proper judging and acting;
My body, though still not wholly bereft of life,
Is weak and senile from many afflictions,
from sins and illnesses and bereavements;
But even now my mind, instead of meditating on Shiva,
Runs after vain desires and hollow delusions.
Therefore, O Shiva! O Mahadeva! O Shambhu!
Forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

bho shrii mahaadeva shambho || 5||
The duties laid down in the smriti-perilous
and abstruse-are now beyond me;
How can I speak of the Vedic injunctions for Brahmins,
as means for attaining Brahman?
Never yet have I rightly grasped, through discrimination,
The meaning of hearing the scriptures from the guru
and reasoning on his instruction;
How then can I speak of reflecting on Truth
without interruption?
Therefore, O Shiva! O Mahadeva! O Shambhu!
Forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

Not even once have I finished my bath before sunrise and brought from the Ganges Water
to bathe Thy holy image;
Never, from the deep woods, have I brought the sacred vilwa leaves for Thy worship;
Nor have I gathered full-blown lotuses from the lakes,
Nor ever arranged the lights
and the incense for worshipping Thee.
Therefore, O Shiva! O Mahadeva! O Shambhu!
Forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

I have not bathed Thine image with milk and honey,
with butter and other oblations;
I have not decked it with fragrant sandalpaste;
I have not worshipped Thee with golden flowers,
with incense, with camphor-flame and savoury offerings.
Therefore, O Shiva! O Mahadeva! O Shambhu!
Forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

I have not made rich gifts to the Brahmins, cherishing in my heart, O Mahadeva, Thy sacred form;
I have not made in the sacred fire the million oblations of butter,
Repeating the holy mantra given to me by my guru;
Never have I done penance along the Ganges with japa and study of the Vedas.
Therefore, O Shiva! O Mahadeva! O Sambhu!
Forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

I have not sat in the lotus posture, nor have I ever controlled
The prana along the Sushumna, repeating the syllable Om;
Never have I suppressed the turbulent waves of my mind,
nor merged the self-effulgent Om in the ever-shining
Witness-Consciousness,
whose nature is that of the highest Brahman; 
Nor have I, in Samadhi, meditated on Shankara, 
who dwells in every form as the Inner Guide.
Therefore, O Shiva! O Mahadeva! O Shambhu! 
Forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

Never, O Shiva! Have I seen Thee, the Pure,
the Unattached, the Naked One,
Beyond the three gunas, free from delusion and darkness, absorbed in meditation,
And ever aware of the true nature of the world;
Nor, with a longing heart, have I meditated on Thine
auspicious and sin-destroying form.
Therefore, O Shiva! O Mahadeva! O Shambhu!
Forgive me, I pray, for my transgressions.

O mind, to gain liberation, concentrate wholly on Shiva,
The sole Reality underlying the worlds, the Giver of good;
Whose head is illumined by the crescent moon
and in whose hair the Ganges is hidden;
Whose fire-darting eyes consumed the god of earthly love;
whose throat and ears are decked with snakes;
Whose upper garment is a comely elephant-skin.
Of what avail are all the other rituals?

O mind, of what are wealth or horses, elephants or a kingdom?
Of what avail the body or a house?
Know all these to be but momentary and quickly shun them;
Worship Shiva, as your guru instructs you, for the attaining of Self-Knowledge.

Day by day does man come nearer to death;
His youth wears away; the day that is gone never returns.
Almighty Time devours everything;
Fickle as lightning is the goddess of fortune.

The Crown

Durga's head bronze statue
The crown is an emblem of victory, sovereignty, and empire. It is a visible sign of success, thus the term "crowning achievement," and its significance as the decoration of the ultimate level of rank and power, makes bearing the crown a great honour. Crowns are also sometimes symbols of God, as he is considered by some to be the "King of all."
Indra Sculpture, 2nd century, The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The essential meaning is derived from the character of the head, which surmounts the body and rises above it. Thus it symbolizes the idea of pre-eminence, which is at the core of such designations as a crowning achievement. It is the completion of things, signifying continuity and duration within the circle of time. Bringing to an apex all these attributes, it is the perfect symbol for sovereignty and seems to suggest a point where immortality and mortality converge.  Kings wearing crowns patterned after this archetype were considered as divine channels through whom a whole kingdom gained strength, virtue and life.  The crown is representative of a victory over darkness and vice.
In the Christian tradition, the image of Mary crowned as Queen of heaven is usually known by the Latin phrase "Maria regina". In them Mary is represented in a number of ways: as the throne of God carrying the Lord and giving him to humanity; as a praying figure in an attitude of intercession and as a sign of the divine presence on the journey of the faithful until the day of the Lord; as the protectress who stretches out her mantle over the peoples (Pokrov).
In Mexico, a crown filled with this grain was the symbol of Tonacatecuhtli (Lord of Our Flesh), who was believed to be the creator god and food-giver and who gave man all things and was the only one pictured with the royal crown.
All of these crowns were believed to contain a spiritual power which was either bestowed or was an attribute of the wearer's power. In the alchemy, the radiant nature of pure gold relates closely to the shape of the radiating crown which, like a halo, represents the power contained in the head and signifies the seat of the soul. To wear this crown is to have arrived at a threshold of spiritual enlightenment.
Buddha Maitreya statue, Ladakh.The representation of a Dhyani-Buddha can be seen on each of the leaves of this five-leaves crown.
In India and Southeast Asia the crown usually took the form of the sikhari of Hindu temples or the shape of a Buddhist stupa. The powerful crown thus encircling the head was echoed in the shape of the temple tower in India, where the structure was considered to be a microcosm of the cosmic Heavenly Man. Its tower was its head and was fashioned in the shape of a tapering sikhara which rises above the inner sanctum of the temple. On its ornamented sides progressive stages of manifestation, from above below, can often be traced. It is crowned with an octagonal or circular dome-like form called a stupika, which itself is capped by a fluted blue lotus and the Kailasa, symbolizing the Jar of Nectar.
Kandariya Mahadeva, Khajuraho
Thus, the sikhara acts as a channel for immortality which passes through the lotus crown down into the sanctuary below. In these cases, the crown it is also a symbol of divine connection and eternal life. That through a divine connection, there is a heavenly realm where all things are perfect.

I take the Merciful One's shape

"Al-'Ikhlas" by Shukor Yahya
Poem by Imadeddin Nasimi

I take the Merciful One's shape, the Merciful I am.
The Spirit Absolute, the word of God and the Koran.

I was the one who told the secret of the burning hills
I was the bright fire's Abraham. I'm Moses and Imran.

I'm Jesus, Alexander and the water that gives life.
It's immortality I have, the source of life I am.

I am the sea, its coast I am. I am the shell and the pearl.
A pearl not only of the sea — the ocean's pearl I am.

I'm thought and beauty. I am attributes. I am desire.
I am the portrait, and the lover charmed by it I am.

I am the balm and doctor, the recovery and pain.
The sufferer the relief of suffering I am.

I am the Holy Book, its letters, he to whom God spoke.
The word, the one who spoke it and the argument I am.

The bearer of the cup I am, the wineseller, the drunk.
The spring of Heaven, the winepourer, the wine and cup I am.

I am much-repeated prayer. I am hypocrisy.
I am the one-God faith and of that the flame I am.

I am the Joy-provider, the All-merciful, the Wise.
Beatitude, Eternity and Paradise I am.

Know God, acknowledge him, Nesimi! You are mankind's son
And I am he who did receive from God the name of man.

Sri Sudarshana Ashtottara Sata Namavali

The Sudarshana Chakra (Sanskrit: सुदर्शन चक्र) is a spinning, disk-like super weapon with 108 serrated edges used by the Hindu god Vishnu. Vishnu received this wonderful weapon as a result of Shiva's grace.
The word Sudarshana is derived from two Sanskrit words - Su (सु) meaning divine and Darshana (दर्शन) meaning vision. Hence, the word Sudarshana collectively means vision of which is auspicious. The word chakra is derived from the word Chruhu (चृ:) meaning movement and kruhu(कृ:) meaning to do. Hence, chakra collectively means the one which is mobile. Among all the Vedic weapons, Sudarshana Chakra is the only mobile weapon. The Sudarshana Chakra is not thrown. With will-power it is sent against the enemy.
