Topic: Song of the Sannyasin

[mayflow]

Wake up the note! the song that had its birth
Far off, where worldly taint could never reach,
In mountain caves and glades of forest deep,
Whose calm no sigh for lust or wealth or fame
Could ever dare to break; where rolled the stream
Of knowledge, truth and bliss that follows both.
Sing high that note, sannyasin bold!
Say "Om Tat Sat, Om!"


"Song of the Sannyasin" by Swami Vivekananda ...

I will add more verses later ... 

[Sky]

Beautiful.

[mayflow]

Thank you.

Strike off thy fetters! bonds that bind thee down,
Of shining gold, or darker, baser ore--
Love, hate; good, bad; and all the dual throng.
Know slave is slave, caressed or whipped, not free;
For fetters, though of gold, are not less strong to bind.
Then off with them, sannyasin bold!
Say "Om Tat Sat, Om!"

[Endless Whisper]

Interesting. Did ya know that Om tat sat and Ain soph aur mean practically the same thing? Both referring to the infinite and sacred words at time of creation?

[mayflow]

Truth never comes where lust and fame and greed
Of gain reside. No man who thinks of woman
As his wife can ever perfect be;
Nor he who owns the least of things, nor he
Whom anger Chains, can ever pass through maya's gates.
So, give these up, sannyasin bold!
Say "Om Tat Sat, Om!"
