Vishwakriti – Part 4/4

-           9          -

 

You cannot see me till you see within yourself

go deep and see yourself with your inner eye

You shall find me

 

I look within myself, going deeper than I ever have been

filled with faith I try to find, the divine form of the voice within

I see countless faces, and eyes as many as stars

Many different types of forms, many forms of gems and charms

 

Countless weapons I see, and I see countless books

garlands, clothes all are deitic, deitic are smells too

Amazing and eternal vision,

where I see the face of God

 

Such light is here, a hundred Suns may conjure

I see the world in all times in that one vision

I am amazed, astonished, excited seeing it all

my head bends with the weight of my knowledge

I fold my hands, to respect what I see

 

I see the past, the Gods and the snakes

I see the origin of time and space

I see sages too and the secrets of the body

I see the eternal unending expanse of divinity

 

I cannot see the beginning, middle or end

I see your crown placed well, your form great

I see what is as difficult to see as the Sun

I realize you indestructible

 

You are the supreme solution of the world

you are immortal, savior of truth

You are the ideal man, you are God

you have immeasurable power

 

The Sun and the Moon are your eyes,

the world scorches in your light

All directions between land and sky find meaning in you

all 3 worlds are scared of seeing you as I do

 

Some stand in fear, Gods enter you

all offerings come to you

I see all Gods, all great men in their grandeur

I see many hands, legs, eyes, bellies, thighs, arms, teeth

 

All are anxious on seeing this form

I too am scared to see you like this

Your teeth are fierce; your face is destruction and fire

Yet I find peace in this holy endeavor

 

I see all my actions within you

and all flow to you like a river

all are burnt in your fire

all fly in you like kites

 

You swallow them with ease

your radiance has lightened all realms

Who are you tell me I bow to you

I want to know you because I neither know your behavior nor objective

 

I am time and action, here to do all deeds

they will be done even if you don’t do them

So either do them yourselves and earn fame and wealth

Because I have done it all, I just ask you to become the means

All actions have been performed, you just come and win

 

Your vision has shown me all and has disseminated my demons

you are much greater than the cosmos themselves

you are 100 Gods together, how can I not worship you?

You are the first God, ancient man, foremost solution

 

You are wise, you are the creator, you are all elements

I bow to you again and again

I bow to you from all sides, you are inaction, you are everything

I apologise to ignore you for so long

 

I am sorry if I paid less heed to you so far

You are a part of me, you are the father of the world

you are revered you are the teacher

none will ever be as great as you are

 

Saying this I come out, still startled by the view I saw

I continue talking to it

I wonder all I have ever wanted

was always waiting to be found within me

 

No divine eye is needed to see this form

no special radiance or blessing needed

All one needs is a clear heart

and faith and courage to see all there is

 

You need the courage, to forgive yourself

like friends forgives friend,

like father forgives son

like God forgives devotee

 

There is no place for forgiveness between friend and friend,

father and son, God and devotee

The life of these relations is love, faith and worship

 

-           10        -

 

The one who is my devotee, who thinks of me and keeps me in his mind

one who is obsessed by me and who worships me with all his faith

he is the ideal Yogi

So devotion to me is the best, my devotees are never confused by the world

 

This world is a Fig free,

whose roots are towards the sky and branches towards the ground

Knowledge is the leaves of this tree

One who knows this also knows the meaning of knowledge

This tree has branches everywhere

which have been provided for by all 3 qualities of nature

Light, fire and darkness

These roots are spread in human society in great depth

it is impossible to realize this tree in this world

because no one can see where is the beginning, middle and root of this tree

But man can cut this tree with the axe of renunciation

and attain the highest place from where he won’t have to return again

 

Renunciation is the name of the abandonment of selfishness

so if you wish to think, then think of me

if you want to worship then worship me

dedicate yourself to me

take refuge in me

I’ll free you of all sins

 

Think of me, be my devotee; and bow to me

If you do so then I promise, you will attain me in all means

Renounce all faiths, and come to me

I will free you from all sins

so do not feel sorrow

 

I am the core symbol and supreme aim

of action, Yog, devotion and knowledge

so act like a Yogi and act selflessly

Do not worry, believe in me

Take responsibility, and fight

 

I am not a man who can surrender

I do not like words of refuge

Perhaps, I do not believe in what I hear

but I know, this is my inner voice

asking me to believe in it

to surrender myself to myself

To dedicate all my actions to myself

and to act in inaction

Perhaps what this voice says is not true

but it gives me strength

It does not help me shed my fears

but it gives me the strength to face them

And so, I open my eyes in resolve

and decide to act with my eyes fixed on my target

 

I would like to tell you my tale in greater detail

of which demon I slayed first

these demons too, look eager to attack

for this is their duty, too which they cannot forgo

I wonder if they have listened to my voice too

but they have not, this was knowledge to a chosen few

My demons now look hesitant to attack

as if they wish me to spill blood first

but I would not allow that to happen

for this is what is the Yog of knowledge

This war is no longer between me and my dilemmas

it’s between right and wrong

justice and injustice, inaction and bad action

I no longer wish to run away,

though my demons do seem to have those desires

yet they won’t, because facing me is their chosen path of action

It is my final battle with my confusions

my decisive battle

I no longer care for causalities or hearts broken

for I am but a messenger of righteousness

even if countless hearts are broken, I shall stand if I am just

and I shall take upon myself all harm which comes to me in my action

and this, is the only ethics correct

 

But let’s leave that for another day

My demons seem scared, and I know the result of my battle

so my narration would not last too long

For the problems have been resolved

so no need for any more dialogue

 

The advice has not ended,

and to tell you is my duty

so if you wish to leave me you may,

but I ask a bit more time from you to stay

 

I ask you to look within yourselves and try to find your inner voice

you shall be fortunate to experience this feeling, to gain this knowledge

only great times and great people bring this knowledge

Be it an ancient God and his disciple in between of a battlefield

or be it you and your soul in the modern day

It is your fortune, to gain such priceless instruction

If you can search within yourself and find a single word from your soul

then it shall be worth all fruits of all your endeavors

You live in great times, when mankind has been given this knowledge

you are lucky to be born human, to read this path to salvation

As time proceeds, your time goes by

use it well, life is too precious to be wasted

 

And with these words, I pull my chariot of words back

leaving you in your crossroads and your battlefield

to fight your demons, to deal with your confusion

I give to you, the words of Vishwakriti
