The Flame of Love can Kindle the Suns to Reflect the Moonlight Sonata of Our Lives: There is a Conscious Integration at the Heart of the Cosmos for Existence of All
teṣāṁ satata-yuktānāṁ
bhajatāṁ prīti-pūrvakam
dadāmi buddhi-yogaṁ taṁ
yena mām upayānti te
– Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
(The Lord by bestowing his Mercy on his loving disciple guides him to make accurate progress – this the process of the evolution of consciousness achieved through direct perception of knowledge as rendered by bhakti through the experience of daily life)
“Shobar upor manush shotto tahar upore nai- Above all is humanity, none else”.– Chandidas, Medieval poet of Bengal, early 15th century
Hidden in the many sheaths of the body, the rasa of the formless unembodied music pulsates strongly to be expressed in myriad ways. Deep into that endless ocean, one finds the secret of the great Self permeating forms and orchestrating or conducting new original forms by a kinesis of the poetic or artistic sublime through re-defined causal loops from a perpetually automated hologram. Shostakovich must have felt the vibrations of his own body at ease with the cosmos transcending the material reality for a quest beyond the ‘immediate moment’ (where the ‘now’ shows the configurations of innumerable units linked end-to-end to create the information surface of a rotating hypersphere)
Paul Mauriat lived beyond the immediate moment – love is blue
Paint the sky red during sunset and you can feel reflected in the canvas the moods that resemble the static and the dynamic ensembles of a timeless river that knows the way
Without words silence cannot speak
Without silence the words cannot breathe
In b/w words and silence falls the hyphenated space where no time can enter
Beyond duality there is another realm
Where nothing is explained and all is done
Nothing needs to be explained but only realized through experience
It takes courage to love the world, the universe…
“Whatsoever has courage can give courage to others
As the flame of the candle can light up another” /Divine Mother (Mirra Alfassa)
Just when you wake up pray for the well-being of all
And let it work Shantih Shantih Shantih…
