The Story Of Swami Rama
Dear Reader! Did you ever have the privilege of being
lost, nay raised, in love, unselfish love, giving all to
love? Then you must be in a position to appreciate
sentiments like the following:
"Soft skin of Taif for Thy sandals take,
And of our heart-strings fitting latchets make
And tread on lips which yearn to touch those feet."
O my Lord, accept me as the most humble "slave of
feet".
— Urdu Couplet
When viewed from the stand-point of God-Self, the
whole world becomes an effusion of Beauty expression of
joy, out-pouring of Bliss. The limitation of vision
being overcome, there remains nothing ugly. When
everything is my own self, how anything could be other
than sweetness condensed. Self is Anand (Bliss),
therefore, self-realisation is equal to the realisation of the
whole world as Bliss-crystallised, or perception of the
powers of Nature as my own hand and feet, and feeling
the universe as my own sweet Self embodied.
True purity is that where all beauty is absorbed in me
and I feel and enjoy my spiritual oneness with all to
such an extent that to talk or think of meeting any object
sounds like a painful hint of separation.
