Sree Krishna, the Lord of Love
Premananda Bharati, Baba
Krishna (Hindu deity)
O My children! No heights there are that you cannot mount, no depths
that you cannot sound, no boundaries that you cannot surround if you but
let the light shine in your soul–your soul that was born of light and
panteth to bathe again in that light.
* *
O My Beloved, thee I embrace and enfold, thee I hold and bless, to the
days everlasting!
* *
Glory to Gooroo who liveth the Truth and Love. Again, O My children, for
wisdom you call, but My words do not sink into the depth of your heart.
But few in your midst do My glory receive, but once it is applied, I
come. A light I place in your midst, but unheeding you are, wayward,
forgetful and fretful. You cling with strained hands to the chains of
bondage. The wisdom that comes from My Realm you would have, yet you
reach not your soul to that Realm.
* *
Each man receives a wisdom that is born in this Realm. You eat from the
table whereat you do sit, you munch of the fruit from the tree that you
pluck, but your pure hearts are hindered for want of satisfaction. Yet
you turn from My table of plentiful supply often from the crumbs that
fall from my feast. Would you know, O my children, how your hearts shall
be led? You yourself shall be fed with My Love. Quit the longing and
striving for that which is null and void. Cease from your ignorant ideas
of happiness, of wisdom, from your empty desires, your thoughts
insincere. Know this it is that hinders thy heart from knowing My Love.
It is this that prohibits thine eyes from seeing My face. Lo, O heart
that is empty and is shadowed by darkness! I bring thee now a light to
give peace, a peace that is buried and strives to be free, Lo! freely
from the streams of blessing that flows from My Love you may partake. It
is its own flavor and virtue. Its richness of charm it never can lose.
Its grace is unbounded, as far-reaching as the sky you see. And as you
quaff of its nectar your heart will grow, bursting with joy.
* *
As you look from the big world within to small world without, all this
shall be well in time with you.
* *
I beautify Nature with My breath, as the breeze that sweetens all space.
The silver of the wide-riding moon is My glory. The down on the breast
of the dove is My softness. Love-touched, love-made, love-filled, am I.
The Secret of Life, the Revelation of Death, the Beginning of All
Things, the End Everlasting am I.
* *
Of all the lights, the Light am I which you know by the shadow; the
Shadow am I which has cast all that light for you all My Face to behold.
* *
The rose lifts its petals My Love to unfold. I fan your hot hearts with
my breezes of love. I crystal and diamond the snow as it falls. As My
breath sweeps the earth to prepare for seed, so My breath sweeps your
hearts to prepare it for My Love. And the sap of your souls, like the
sap of the tree, will flow through your life and burst into budding.
