Krishna (Hindu deity)
O my children, you seek Me to know Me, you behold Me not as I stand in
your midst in all My radiance. My splendour more splendid is than all
the splendour of heaven and earth. My beauty is even like that which the
dawn first spies in a garden of rare flowers. My glory is like unto a
blazing casket of jewels, of jasper and crystalline pearls, that
standeth in the radiance of the sun at high noon.
* *
My softness is like unto the wondrous rose that lieth deep in the folds
of the new baby's curled palm, or the gold that clingeth to the heart of
the lotus in bloom.
* *
In all My rare lovliness in your midst I stand, in every heart I reign
with a crown of living stars upon My brow ensceptered. Quickened with
light and love am I; on My breast the sun of ecstasy; and all who once
have looked upon My glory have realized the rainbow of promise that has
spanned the sky of every human heart. From his eyes the shroud of flesh
has fallen, in his breast he carries a garden all fertile with blossoms
of delight and beareth fruits of peace.
* *
O My children, to know thyself, know Me. Those who once have looked upon
Me, upon his brow I have placed a crown that readeth in blazing letters
of light, a crown of love and wisdom and humbleness. He walketh even in
lowliness and reacheth away from the earth and commandeth sublimity
itself to kneel at his feet.
* *
O My jewels rare! Arise, survey the kingdom you may possess. Laws you
may make, barriers break, tread on the stars, and the comets themselves
will rush at your command. Know I have made you heir to all I have
created, I, your Maker's Self, once walk a man and as a man all men I
love. To know yourself, know Me. And having gained knowledge of Me, all
will be revealed unto you and the bitter waters of self-seeking shall
become holy and sweet as the waters of the Ganges. And you I will clothe
in My Truth sublime, My Truth that is devoid of changes of age and time.
In its shadow you will abide—My Truth that is permanent, the Root of all
Eternity.
* *
You, my son, whose young heart is grafted on the strength of Him who
bringeth illumination to you, in all humbleness walk and in thy young
humbleness thou shalt know the smile of Love.
* *
O Gooroo, My Beloved son I you who give forth words whose potency doth
bring healing to the heart of those who in swiftness do expand their
wings to catch your words in their passing, know thrice in the ages that
were, your words have travelled through the corridors of the hearts that
listened to you and now have sprung within their hearts to life again.
Even deeper in the days to come shall you drink of a fount of truth that
is life.
* *
The ripest grape without the seed of intoxication, the sweetest
fragrance that is robbed of its death-dealing heaviness, the sound minus
its discord. The temple wherein all glory playeth.
* *
Glory to Gooroo who is a grateful branch on the imperishable tree of
life.
