Song Of Vairagya
« on: October 17, 2006, 12:29:24 PM »
Rama Rama Rama Rama Rama
Rama Rama Rama Rama Rama:
Why do you search in vain
For pleasure outside?
Go to the fountain source
In the subjective Atma:
Awake, arise, stop not
Till the goal is reached.

(Rama Rama … …)

How long you want to remain
Slave of passion, tell me please?
Try to seek peace within
By dispassion; practice (Vairagya and Abhyasa)

(Rama Rama … …)

Are you not really fed up
With illusory objects?
Enjoy the Atmic Bliss
By Manana, Nididhyasana,
Reflection, meditation.

(Rama Rama … …)

Song Of Jnana-Vairagya
« Reply #1 on: October 17, 2006, 01:12:28 PM »

Sunaja Sunaja Sunaja Krishna
Tu Gitawala Jnana Sunaja Krishna.

At first there is a tender emotion and warm affection,
Then it gross into glowing love, burning passion.

Through Sravana and Satsang comes admiration,
Then attraction, attachment, supreme love.

I want my dear beloved Krishna alone;
I want neither Mukti nor temporal blessings.

The world is unreal, full of miseries,
God alone is real, full of Ananda.

You are running after the unreal shadow,
You have forgotten the real substance.

You came alone (weeping), will go alone (weeping), no one will follow,
Do Bhajan, do Kirtan, this will follow,

Why do you fight in vain with your brothers? Fight with the mind and the Indriyas.
Why do you weep in vain for the death of relatives? Weep for the separation of the Lord.

The love between husband and wife is selfish love,
Brothers, sisters are united for selfish ends.

Death is ever waiting to devour you all,
That ‘tomorrow’ will never come, open your eyes now (wake up now).

Life is short, time is fleeting, (many obstacles to Japa and kirtan),
Apply yourself diligently to Yogic Sadhan.

This world is a mela for two days,
This life is a play for two seconds, (This body is a bubble for two seconds).

When one is in union with God, it is Samadhi,
The Yogi gets infinite bliss and knowledge.

Bhakti-Yoga is crossing river by boat,
Jnana-Yoga is crossing river by swimming.

A Jnani gets knowledge by self-reliance,
A Bhakta gets Darshan by self-surrender.

When there is one Vritti it is Savikalpa,
When there is Triputi-Laya, it is Nirvikalpa.

When one is in fourth Bhumika, it is Jivanmukti,
When there is no body-consciousness, it is Videhamukti.

When you are in a state of Turiya, it is Jivanmukti,
When you are in Turiyatita, it is Videhamukti.

When there is Svarupanas, it is Jivanmukti.
When there is Arupanas, it is Videhamukti.

When Jagrat appears as Svapna, it is Jivanmukti,
When Jagrat appears as Sushupti, it is Videhamukti.
"As long as we confuse the myriad forms of the divine lila with reality, without perceiving the unity of Brahman underlying all these forms, we are under the spell of maya..."
