Lila

Behind each name and form is the absolute Presence of the Eternal
unaffected,  undiminished, untarnished by the actual names or forms

There is magic all around us. The All Powerful Being becomes anything and everything.
All around is a sacred greatness, the marvellous face of the mysterious Mother.
In the color of the rusty leaves, in the fireworks of a sunset, in the iris of a stranger,
we catch a glimpse of a Mystery which forever eludes us,
yet irresistibly draws forever the same love and beauty of a mysterious Presence.
The One is continuously taking all these million forms.

There is no haste, there is no death, there is only change, transformation., transmutation.
In a dim light you see only a little around the room, in the starlight a little more and in the sunlight the clear continents.
But there are eyes which go through wall after wall in  unexplorable mystic dimensions

Let your mind be strong, your heart steady, your nerves and body peaceful
then you will not be afraid when the Eternity from its fathomless depths will begin to look at you  .
When Moses saw the Divine he too was afraid.
The Eternal has to hide Himself from our eyes for a long, long time.
He has to strenghten our path, fortify our spirit and steel our nerves s
So that one day we can bear His compassionate touch.
