<strong>The</strong> <strong>Story</strong> <strong>Of</strong> <strong>Swami</strong> <strong>Rama</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> Universe, being an embodiment of my own<br />

Self, is sweetness incarnate. What shall I blame?<br />

What shall I criticise?<br />

O Joy! It is all I. OM.<br />

<strong>The</strong> spiritual Law about privations and success,<br />

how beautiful the Veda enunciates it: Let anybody<br />

in his heart of heart believe in anything whatsoever<br />

as real - i.e., fit object of trust—and inevitably he<br />

must be forsaken or betrayed by that object. This is<br />

a law more stern than the Law of Gravitation. <strong>The</strong><br />

only Reality Atman brings home to us the delusion<br />

of seeing anything else as real.<br />

No wonder at the gate<br />

Can keep the Gnani in;<br />

But like the Sun o'er all<br />

He will the castle win,<br />

And shine along the wall<br />

He waits, as waits the sky,<br />

Until the clouds go by,<br />

Yet shines serenely on<br />

With an eternal day,<br />

Alike when they are gone,<br />

And when they stay<br />
