The Water Drop on the Lotus leaf!

by Dr. Varanasi Ramabrahmam



The dawning of the right knowledge Is setting of false identities; Setting in, knowledge dissolves Worries, fear, sorrow, anxiety and time consciousness; Bliss, peace, silence and compassion rule the mind Real identity of "I" takes place; Ego and related moods, thoughts and feelings Will be shown their place; Unsettling relationships give place to pure love And hatred of any kind disappears The outside physical world And its impressions within, the phenomenal world Though continue to appear And are cognized and re-cognized, The mind does not waver or react adversely Keeps its cool and equanimity; Dawning of right knowledge Sets every thing free And sets things right; Serene detachment becomes trait of mind; Duties are performed efficiently Love and affection are shown And received discretely And throughout life, mind functions and understands As a true and dear friend; Counsels to lead a contented life What ever might be our state Dawning of right knowledge Is the removal of veil of ego, the false identity; Then onwards knowledge illumines like sun when clouds are dispersed; Right knowledge is present always As the brilliant sun up there, day or night; Fully involved in family and social responsibilities And discharging them with necessary concern and care, The mind is clear and confident, Efficiently functions but not attached Like the water drop on the lotus leaf The dawning of right knowledge Is bliss, peace and silence Of mind; The liberated state Of mind

Comments on this Poem

Thank you Mr Ashby for the kind attention and learned and inspiring observation. Yes all spirituality from all religions is same. The essence is as you observed; dissolution or transcending self-consciousness. then we become on with the Divinity within us.

A beautiful poem, with a profound communication: of the 'I' within us that obtains release. Seeing that it is only achieved in self-denial, it matters not who the human subject is, but that it is, and must be, the very same 'I' we each of us partakes in, the one true ego.

In Christian terms, we die to self to become one with Christ, the eternal 'I'. St Paul says: I live not I, Christ lives in me. Galatians:2:20.
