The Secret

 

Poem by Ralph S.Cushman

 

I met God in the morning
    When my day was at its best,
And his presence came like sunrise
    Like a glory in my breast.

All day long the Presence lingered,
    All day long he stayed with me,
And we sailed in perfect calmness
    O’er a very troubled sea.

Other ships were blown and battered,
    Other ships were sore distressed,
But the winds that seemed to drive them
    Brought to us a peace and rest.

Then I thought of other mornings,
    With a keen remorse of mind,
When I too had loosed the moorings,
    With the Presence left behind.

So I think I know the secret,
    Learned from many a troubled way:
You must seek him in the morning
    If you want him through the day!

Dear Arunaji

The Secret is Beautiful. The way to seek the Lord is

"only through  the regular practice of Jnana, bakthi, karma, dharana and meditation which is inevitable and a continuous process."[ Parameswaranji]

Very well written. Its not enough to wait until old age to start sadhana. We have to start from the very beginning.

ध्यायतो विषयान् पुंसः संगस्तेषूपजायते । संगात्सञ्जायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ॥
क्रोधाद् भवति सम्मोहः सम्मोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः । स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति ॥

ध्यायत ईश्वरं पुंसः संगस्तेषूपजायते । संगात्सञ्जायते प्रेमः प्रेमात्करुणोपजायते ॥
करुणाद्भवति निर्मोहोनिर्मोहात्स्मृतिरागमः । स्मृतिवृध्याद्बुद्धिशुद्धिः धीशुध्याद् विमुच्यते ॥
