If One Flower Is Missing

What a beautiful myth about Vaikunth Chaturdashi! It can be treated as a symbol of the improbable fidelity but it is remarkable here that about a loving fidelity of one Hindu god to another, that is about unity between Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu, that is about One. And there is a divine eye here...

So, according to puranic story, Lord Vishnu has decided to offer one thousand Lotus flowers to Lord Shiva in Kashi. During this ritual, Vishnu repeated Shankar's thousand names: Shivaya namaha, Mahadevaya namaha, Pashupataya namaha... and at every name He bowed and dropped one flower on Shivalinga. When Vishnu uttered the thousandth name, Vishveshwaray namaha, he was dismayed to realize that the thousandth lotus was missing. He was deeply disturbed. He thought for a while, and finally he found the right solution. "They call me kamalnayan (the lotus-eyed), which means that my eyes are like lotus. If I offer one of my eyes to Shankar it won't be too big a loss". He plucked one of his eyes and repeating the name of Vishvanath he dropped it on Linga. "Dhanya, dhanya" (blessed, blessed), said Shankar, "Vishnu, the lotus-eyed, there is no other devotee like you." Shankar embraced Vishnu with great love, and placing his hand on his face, Vishnu's eye was immediately restored to its place.
Since then, on Vaikuntha Chaturdashi, Lord Vishnu is given a special place of honor in the sanctum of Kashi Vishwanath Temple in Varanasi. Shiva and Vishnu are ritually worshipped as though they are worshipping each other. This is true religion, this is Love.

I Wonder if I Know Him

Rabindranath Tagore

I wonder if I know him
In whose speech is my voice,
In whose movement is my being,
Whose skill is in my lines,
Whose melody is in my songs
In joy and sorrow.
I thought he was chained within me,
Contained by tears and laughter,
Work and play.
I thought he was my very self
Coming to an end with my death.
Why then in a flood of joy do I feel him
In the sight and touch of my beloved?
This 'I' beyond self I found
On the shores of the shining sea.
Therefore I know
This 'I' is not imprisoned within my bounds.
Losing myself, I find him
Beyond the borders of time and space.
Through the Ages
I come to know his Shining Self
In the life of the seeker,
In the voice of the poet.
From the dark clouds pour the rains.
I sit and think:
Bearing so many forms, so many names,
I come down, crossing the threshold
Of countless births and deaths.
The Supreme undivided, complete in himself,
Embracing past and present,
Dwells in Man.
Within Him I shall find myself -
The 'I' that reaches everywhere.

Amazing Grace

Poem by John Newton (1725-1807)
Music by William Walker
Singer - Andrea Bocelli

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that brought, brought me safe thus far.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a soul like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
I was blind, but now I see.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Twas Grace that brought me safe thus far
And Grace will lead me home.

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a soul like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
I was blind, but now I see.

When we've been gone, gone ten thousand years
Bright shining like the sun.
We have no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

The Paradoxical Commandments

"The Paradoxical Commandments" is a poem written by Dr. Kent M. Keith when he was 19.

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

Seven Maqāmāt

 The spiritual journey in Sufism begins with the stage of tabattul (detachment from the world), which is preceded by a state of spiritual awakening (yaqzah) and repentance, and culminates in the stage of fana’ (annihilation). The number of stations on the Path to Truth is unlimited. Some have considered them, from the first to the last, as comprising a hundred, while others have deemed them to be as many as a thousand. In the Kitāb al-luma’, Abu Nasr al-Sarraj al-Tusi defines seven maqāmāt or seven stages on the spiritual transformation. They include:

Repentance (tawbah): Begins with nur-e-ma'rifat (light of Divine Recognition) in the heart that realizes sin is spiritual poison. This induces regret and a yearning to compensate for past shortcomings and determination to avoid them in the future.
Abstention (wara): Pious self-restraint: the highest level of wara' is to eschew anything that might distract one, even briefly, from consciousness of Allah.
Asceticism (zuhd): Doing without what you do not need and making do with little. It is the emptiness of the heart that doesn't know any other commitment than what is in relation to God, or coldness of the heart and dislike of the soul in relation to the world.
Poverty (faqr): Poverty, both material and spiritual. This means denial of the nafs demands for pleasure and power, and dedication to the service of others instead of self-promotion. A dervish is also known as a fakir, literally a poor person. Poverty means lack of attachment to possessions and a heart that is empty of all except the desire for God.
Patience (ṣabr): Essential characteristic for the mystic, sabr literally means enduring, bearing, and resisting pain and difficulty. There are three types: sabr alal amal (consistent in practicing righteous deeds); sabr fil amal (patience in performing a righteous deed); sabr anil amal (patience in abstaining from haram).
Confidence (tawwakul): At this stage we realize everything we have comes from Allah. We rely on Allah instead of this world. The condition for achieving tawakkul is sincere acknowledgement of tauheed (doctrine of Oneness).
Contentment (riḍā’): Submission to qaḍā (fate), showing no rancor or rebellion against misfortune, and accepting all manifestations of Destiny without complaint. According to Dhul-Nun al-Misri, rida means preferring God's wishes over one's own in advance, accepting his Decree without complaint, based on the realization that whatever God wills and does is good. The first state is a physical condition and is not incumbent. The second is an intellectual condition, which is required: results from muhabbat (love for God).

Can You See the Lantern?

In early times in Japan, bamboo-and-paper lanterns were used with candles inside. A blind man, visiting a friend one night, was offered a lantern to carry home with him.

"I do not need a lantern," he said. "Darkness or light is all the same to me."

"I know you do not need a lantern to find your way," his friend replied, "but if you don't have one, someone else may run into you. So you must take it."

The blind man started off with the lantern and before he had walked very far someone ran squarely into him. "Look out where you are going!" he exclaimed to the stranger. "Can't you see this lantern?"

"Your candle has burned out, brother," replied the stranger.
