LIGHTNING SHEETS
|
* * *
As honey is the master of sweets,
Knowledge is the sweet honey of being
* * *
No knowledge is higher than self-cognition
In the world of being!
* * *
There is no object more honorable and difficult
Than to extinguish a fire of feelings by impassivity.
* * *
As we pacify a green horse with a bridle,
You should pacify the raging of passion with a bridle of abstinence.
* * *
You can’t exhaust passion in wishes,
The same you can’t extirpate evil with violence.
* * *
As clouds obstructs sunlight,
The light of comprehension is hidden under the veil of Maya.
* * *
As moths fly to the light irrepressibly,
The round dance of thoughts sings and dances in a ring of Truth.
* * *
Like a shadows of the past
Suffering will find us along the path of wishes.
* * *
Like purity of thoughts in clean food,
A secret of luck is hidden in kindness.
And the spring of power is hidden in pure intentions.
* * *
As the stone of egoism carries away the avalanche of ignorance,
The snow-ball of wishes grows in us,
And we are plunged by passion into the abyss of blindness
* * *
As bees annoy the beekeeper
The swarm of thoughts beleaguers
The one who subdue boiling of feelings
And wishes to draw the honey of knowledge in concentration
* * *
How should Truth teach the person,
Who is dressed in shell of egoism
And whose soul is covered with the smoke of wishes!
* * *
Is it reasonable to awake to knowledge?
The one who do not want to wake up?
The bright light is a hindrance for the asleep.
* * *
If we consider the world as a building,
Power is the foundation of the universe,
Thoughts are bricks that are fastened together
By self-consciousness and unselfish love.
* * *
You cannot overcome the ignorance
by arguing and silly chatting.
Only serious meditation, unselfishness,
study and love can help you.
* * *
As the sun constantly shines in the sky,
The inextinguishable light of love shines inside us,
The sun of the Truth of Unity shines inside us.
* * *
We’ve said about sense of being a great deal,
But still I want to tell you, my friends:
Life is the main goal of life, and life is Eternal Wheel,
The Path, where you should close the beginning with the end…
* * *
There is no higher law in this world of being,
Than the Unswerving Karma‘s just revenge!
* * *
There is no higher aim on Earth,
Than grasping the Truth of Unity by heart!
* * *
There is no higher God under the sun and moon,
Than Man – a Master of the Universe,
The Master of Inexorably-Fair Karma.
* * *
Take away the cover of Maya from the Eternal Truth in you
By acquiring knowledge, training,
Unselfishness and love!
