ira’s love for Shyam is the outcome of many lives. Mira says she was Lalita, Krishna’s principle gopi. She danced with Krishna. Pundits do not agree with this. It is not important to me what pundits say. Mira has said that she is Lalita I need no more proof. As Lalita she danced with the blue boy the solace of her being on the banks of the blue river. Memories still linger in her being like the dissolving notes of an enchanted melody. The beauty of the blue boy, the Yamuna bank, the cool kalindi shore, the moonlight lurking through the trees, the call of the flute, the chirping of the birds what a semblance of ecstasy, Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni
Page 5
MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE Mira has fresh memories in her being. Everything and every scene are fresh on her inner sky. Mira still remembers the day Shiva came to be a part of the cosmic dance of Kanha and she as Lalita she stopped his entry. Mira remembers this all in its details. The echoes of all these Mira sang through her songs. Overflowing the ecstasy that she witnessed, Mira closes her eyes to envision everything in retrospect; she sings playing her lute the SONGS of IMMORTALITY – LOVE ETERNAL. Krishna is mufti dimensional. He has not left any raga or rasa untouched through his manifestation. Krishna is the only one in the entire history of human consciousness who remains ecstatic yet untouched by any circumstances or situation while traversing through his role as incarnation. He is always singing and laughing. This you can see through his unconditional bliss and awareness under even the most intricate situations. At no time Krishna is caught unaware. Do not say that Krishna is incarnation. By saying so you are closing all possibilities of your transformation. This word ‘incarnation’ is very meaningful. But not for you! So too the word ‘Krishna Consciousness’ will remain an empty one for you. You can go on talking of ‘Krishna Consciousness’ however there is no fragrance of ‘Krishna Consciousness’ through your actions, thinking or life. Observe the state of awareness of Krishna as it manifests through infinite acts as enshrined by Krishna Dwapan sri Veda Vyas as Srimad Bhagwat Purana. During each act Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni

MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE Krishna is guided by the consciousness of bliss, oneness, love and deep understanding beyond time and space. Such is the state of awareness of an Incarnation. Then it should be your prayer and aspiration that even an iota of this awareness be part of your. Thus will begin your inward journey! Anil Sohoni an aspirant in its true sense presents Mira ke Shyam as part of his inward journey. This works is a beautiful effort by Anil ji as prelude to something that you will cherish into your being for lives to come. I give you inkling into his upcoming work –

f Allah(That Supreme Being we call by different names) does not make you capable remember it is not in the hands of the finiteness of man. Ordinary love is common. Love as we know and understand leads to a life of duality and conflict. Eternal love or Love Divine is not common!! (Only an enchanted heart is filled with this energy – the sublime and sanctified!!!) (Commentary by Taoshobuddha in Meditation Times Jan-2010)
It happened like this ---My beloved friend, ‘Sufi Saint’, ‘Taoshobuddha’, send me copy of the monthly publication, ‘Meditation Times Jan-2010’, I was moved by above verse. Allaah Agar taOfIk na do ……… Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni

MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE
[rfanao mauhbbat Aama nahI.
The verse is very meaningful. Thought came to my mind, ‘All Great Lives Think Alike’. There is a reason they have reached to the same source from where holy ‘Ganga’ emerged or from where the Holy ‘Jamjam’ water emerged. Recently I read a news paper article that in United Kingdom percentage of ‘Single Mother’ is about 50%. That is very serious. That means all those children are deprived of love and affection of father. I started thinking ‘INWARD’. Why these mothers can’t get along with father of their own children? Why they live alone and suffer solitary life? What answer will this mother will give to her child when he will ask, “Mama where is my father? All other children live with father. Why not me? Do I have father?” No answer to the question. I do agree that there are many reasons as unresolved issues behind such situation. Human mind only sees the outer reasons. And in that the real issues are ignored. Now a day percentage of divorces are rapidly increasing all over world not only in western part but also in eastern part of globe too! Is it not a point of concern? A single mother or a single father can definitely bring up their offspring well, but how far they can cultivate in the child the seeds of happiness as the outcome of inner oneness. For a modern man marriage is a “Contract”. It is an agreement between a male and a female. So marriage comes to an end when terms and conditions of contract are breeched by either. It has always been so if we go deep Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni
Page 9
MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE within. In the east this contractual arrangement was sugar coated in the religious sanction as marriage. This did not change human psychology and the understanding. The outcome is the present situation that we find ourselves in. A great transformation in human consciousness is needed. There are several epistles written by the apostle St. Paul that refer to marriage and how believers are to operate within the marriage relationship. One such passage is 1 Corinthians chapter 7, and another is Ephesians 5:22-33. When studied together, these two passages provide biblical principles that form a framework for a God-pleasing marriage relationship. The Ephesians passage is especially profound in reference to a successful biblical marriage. ‘Wives, submit to your husband’s as to the Lord. For, the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.’ [Ephesians 5:22-23]. ‘Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.’ [Ephesians 5:25].
‘In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church.’ [Ephesians 5:28-29].
Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni
Page 10
MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ [Ephesians 5:31].
When, a believing husband and wife institute God’s principles, a biblical marriage results into success. A biblically based marriage is one that is in balance, with Christ as the head of the man and the wife together. The biblical concept of marriage is a oneness between two individuals that pictures the oneness of Christ with His church. The most detestable of the lawful things in Allah’s eyes is divorce. - The Prophet of Islam (Saw). The greatest blessing in the world is a pious wife. - The Prophet of Islam (Saw). Verily, the most perfect amongst believers in faith is he who is the best in manner and the kindest to his wife. - The Prophet of Islam (Saw). The words of a husband to his wife, ‘I truly love you,’ should never leave her heart. - The Prophet of Islam (Saw). If a man helps his spouse in household work, Allah records for him spiritual reward equal to the hair on his body as if he had fasted during days and offered prayers during nights for one full year. - The Prophet of Islam (Saw) Centuries ago, civilized societies recognized and acknowledged the most basic instincts of all - i.e., the need for companionship - and founded an honorable institution Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni
Page 11
MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE known as marriage. Experience has shown that this institution can help navigate the complex ocean of life full of conflicts, questions, concerns, temptations, joys, sorrows, ups and downs. Hindu ancestors set aside some guidelines to make sure that the institution is a permanent one capable of not only bringing happiness to two young people but also providing a delicate balance so that the family enjoys the fullness of life within the framework of what they called Dharma, the Hindu code of right conduct In nut shell all religion advice us that marriages are based on moral conditions for prosperity of society. And religion is not morality. Religion is beyond morality. And we lack religiousness. The true meaning of love is sacrifice for each other of one’s pleasure, comforts, opinion and thoughts. So following pages are my efforts to contemplate on ‘Divine Love’, which is really uncommon. Even worldly love is also misconceived and misinterpreted by most of us.
Allaah Agar taOfIk na do ……… [rfanao mauhbbat Aama nahI We have to wait I have understood from Taoshobuddha that this topic and ‘The male – female relations’ is the subject that he is looking very closely and as soon as the current assignments are finished we will have a classic with the insights and solutions in our hands.

MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE In preparing this work I got assistance from many quarters. It is quite fair to acknowledge these. First and the foremost I am thankful to Taoshobuddha for his inspirational words in meditation times. I am thankful to Lars Jensen of Sweden to allow me to use two chapters from his upcoming book ‘The Secrets of Spiritual Life.’ This will remain incomplete without thanking the reader that took time to read this. Your feed back will be my beacon light. Bonne Appetite!

Love yourself first before you love anybody else [Reproduced: ‘The Secrets of Spiritual Life’ by Lars Jensen]
T
he secrets of love are that you have to learn the art of loving yourself first. Unless you respect and love yourself there are no ways that you can love or respect the other. Unless you love yourself you cannot love anybody. It is impossible, because a man who is not in love with himself cannot be in love with anybody. If you are in love with yourself, only then can you overflow. And such overflow of love reaches others. A man who has not loved himself will hate himself, and if you hate yourself, how can you love anybody? You will hate others also. You can only pretend. And when you cannot love yourself, how do you expect others to love you either? Everyone is condemned in his own eyes. The whole moralistic teaching gives you only one thing the techniques of self condemnation. Through morality you learn how to condemn yourself.
Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni
Page 15
MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE Christianity says that it is not a question of sinning once or twice or occasionally, you are born as a sinner. It is not a question of whether you do one sin or not. You are born as a sinner. Man is born in sin. Adam, the first man, committed the sin, and you are the descendants. The sin has been committed, nothing can be done. Now it cannot be undone, and you are born into Adam’s sin. If you are born in sin, there is no way for you to love yourself? If your very being is guilt, how can you love yourself? And if you cannot love yourself, you cannot love anybody else. The love must happen at home first. You are the home. This human body is your home. And only when love overflows can it reach to others. And when it overflows, it expresses through your actions, and thinking. Whether you paint or make shoes or do anything else, be in deep love with yourself. Then love begins to flow into everything you do. It flows even when you are not doing anything. It goes on overflowing, it becomes your very existence, and then nothing is boring. Quite often people ask me very sympathetically ‘The whole day you are sitting in one room, not even looking out of the window while doing your work. Do you ever get bored?’ What should I tell these people? I have learned the art of being in my own company. This is the best company that I could ever seek. I am with myself. Why should I get bored? They further enquire, ‘Just sitting alone, don’t you get bored? Quite often you do not talk to anyone.’ You will not be able to understand this Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni
Page 16
MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE from where you are standing. I am so ecstatic and overflowing that I need nothing for entertainment and no company. If I hate myself I will get bored. You cannot live with someone you hate. I do not hate myself. I do not condemn my actions. All actions are like dried leaves that are no more needed on the tree of consciousness. Just as during autumn dried leaves fall so too thoughts that are no more needed fall from the tree of consciousness as actions. By nature you cannot be alone. Even if you are alone for a few moments you get uncomfortable. Uneasiness comes into your being. You long to meet someone. You have not learned to live with yourself. Your own company is so boring. You cannot even look at your own face. Whenever someone asks such questions their asking is relevant to their own reference, because they will get bored if they are alone. Based on their own criterion they ask me, ‘Don’t you go out sometimes?’ There is no need for me to go out except when I have to go out for the work that is essential for the sake of my living. Also it is enquired, if I do not get bored with similar questions again and again. Whenever anyone is asking a question his being and understanding is the criterion. All questions arise as the outcome of inner consciousness. And I do not answer any question. I answer the questioning mind instead. So for me it is not that the question is being repeated again and again. Each time when a question is asked it carries a
Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni
Page 17
MIRA KE SHYAM â&#x20AC;&#x201C; EMBODIMENT OF LOVE different consciousness behind it. So the same question is always afresh. Not only this, everyone has the same problem. You are not original. Therefore you cannot even create any original problem. And when the problem is same then how can your question differ. Certain problems are related with love, with sex, with peace of mind, with confusion, or something else. Also there are certain psychological and pathological problems. Man can be easily divided into seven categories based on problems. Since there are seven categories of men then the same questions are bound to remain. So people go on asking the seven basic questions. How can I get bored with questions then? I never get bored, because each individual is unique to me. And because of the individuality, the problem he brings is never a repetition. Because, the context is different, and so is the individual. You come with your love problem; another comes with his love problem. Both look similar but they are not. Two individuals differ in their consciousness. It is this difference of consciousness that changes the quality of the problem. Each individual is so unique that he cannot be put with anyone else. No category can be made. But then you have to have a very keen awareness to penetrate to the very root where the individual is unique. Otherwise, on the surface everyone is alike. Just on the surface everyone seems alike, with the same problems, but if you penetrate deep within the consciousness you will find the difference. If you are alert and ready to move with Allah Agar Taufiq Na Deâ&#x20AC;Ś Anil Sohoni
Page 18
MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE the person to the deeper core of his being, the deeper you go the more original, individual and unique phenomenon comes into being. If you can penetrate to the very center, you will realize that the person before you is unique and unrepeatable. He has never been before. And he will never be again. He is just unique. And the mystery then overfills you. It is the mystery of the uniqueness of the person. If you know how to penetrate the deepest core, and how to be loving and alert only then you will know a person’s uniqueness. Otherwise everything is repetitive. You are bored because you have a consciousness which creates boredom. Change the consciousness, and there will be no boredom. But you go on changing objects and persons and not the consciousness. Certainly this will not make any difference. Notes: [Even the priests cannot explain the Christian belief of that man is born into sin. In reality it has its root in the early Christian belief in karma and incarnation. You are not born into sin, but you are born with your own actions from previous life, which is the cause for your coming and going into this world. The universal teaching of all religions is one, but due to some misunderstanding made by man these religions appear to be different. But we cannot blame the Masters of these religions, because they did never create this outer form of the religion. In fact they did not even write these Holy Scriptures. As for example the teaching of Christ was written about hundred years after the Christ left his body and the teaching of Buddha was written some four or five hundred years after Buddha left this world. And certainly we
Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni
Page 19
MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE cannot blame the Holy Scriptures, if they were changed afterward. And indeed the Bible was changed many times. Among the first Christians most of them were probably believers in incarnation. Christian groups like Basilidans, Marcionits, Valentinens of Egypt, Simonians, Manichaeans, Gnostic and Samaneas believed in incarnation. Also many of the early Fathers of the Church like Origen (active around 230 AD) that even calls it a “general opinion”, Justin Martyr (140 AD), Clement of Alexandria (194 AD) and Tertullian of Carthage (202 AD). A big change of direction in the Christian Church was made at the Church Council in Nicea (325 AD) and in Constantinopel (381 AD), when incarnation was proclaimed as a heresy (false doctrine) and condemned it. All the Christian books containing hints of incarnation was burned or changed. The persecution of these Christian groups, believing in the incarnation, was so successfully that even today almost no one even heard about Jesus, included incarnation in his teaching. But even so, they tried to weed out all the teaching of incarnation from the Bible, we can still find many evidence for the belief of incarnation in the Bible. First of all even the Bible give the principle of “as you sow, so shall you reap” (Galatians 6:7) or to put it in other words” every action we do, will bring an equivalent reaction.” The very same teaching is called Karma in the east. If you could not reap the seed of all your actions in this very life, naturally you must return in another life to balance your accounts. So one thing leads to another, of you cannot reap your actions in this life, you must come back again, which is called incarnation. And in fact the Bible gives many evidences for the theory of incarnation even so the Church Council in Nicea tried to
Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni
Page 20
MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE remove all such evidence. Here comes one of many examples from the Bible. In the Old Testament (Malachi 4:5) it was foretold that Elijah the prophet would return. Christ himself connect on that prophesy, when he said to his disciples: “Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of woman there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist....And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. He that hath ears to hear let him hear.” (Matt 11:11-15) Maybe some of His disciples didn’t put attention to His words, because Christ repeated again: “But I say to you, that Elias is come already...” (Matt 17:12) Then the disciples understood that He spoke of John the Baptist. (Matt 17:13) So from this we can understand that Christ Himself told that Elias had incarnated as John the Baptist. It is so obvious and clearly written; still the priests do not understand it. But who can blame the Bible if it is changed afterward or if the priests do not understand what it says. ] ... Lars Jensen

Love and Friendliness [Reproduced: ‘The Secrets of Spiritual Life’ by Lars Jensen]
L
ove can reach to its ultimate peak only when it becomes friendliness. There are three possibilities for
love. 11..
One is lust.
This is biological and there is nothing wrong about it but it is the lowest form of energy. All the animals have it. So there is nothing special about it if man has it. Lust connects humanity with the animal kingdom. Lust is a reproductive force. It is nature’s way to continue the species. However to remain confined to lust implies missing the real point. And for this one should go a little higher. This is the second stage of love. 22..
Psychological love:
This is the second stage somewhat higher than the first. Accordingly love is not biological; instead it is psychological and is a higher dimension. It is not reproductive, it is creative. The moment two persons are in deep love all their creativity explodes Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni
Page 22
MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE they may start things they had never done before. They may start painting or music or dancing, things they had never dreamt of suddenly start arising in their being. Love brings a new climate and new flowers start growing but very few people attain to love. Ninety - nine point nine per cent of people remain confined to the animal world, lust. Love is freedom from being an animal. It is the birth of the human being. There is still a higher peak than love because love although it is far more beautiful than lust tremendously pregnant with creativity has still some hangover of lust remaining with it. It has come out of lust. Still something of lust follows it like a shadow. It becomes a shadow but it is there and it goes on affecting. That is why love is possessive, jealous, and envious. These are ugly traits, that remain as hangovers of the past and these destroy the beauty of love and as love starts settling these things start raising their heads. Love is beautiful only when the honeymoon is on but it does not last long. It comes and goes so quickly that when it goes then only you know it was there. 33..
Friendliness:
And then there is still something which is not love but the shadow starts possessing you. One can rise a little more when love becomes just friendliness. I am not even calling it friendship because that may give you the idea of relationship. I call it ‘friendliness’ when love becomes just a friendliness no possessiveness, no jealousy no desire to dominate. When love starts giving freedom to the other - total freedom, unconditional freedom then it becomes ‘friendliness’. And that is the highest human consciousness can reach. Very few people Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni
Page 23
MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE have known ‘friendliness’. Their names can be counted on the fingers. It is a sad thing that such a vast humanity goes on missing their intrinsic potential. Meditators have to transform lust into love. And then love into friendliness. The moment you have reached to the state of friendliness you have arrived home.

The contacts of senses with objects, O son of Kunti, which cause heat and cold, pleasure and pain, have a beginning and an end; they are impermanent; endure them bravely, O descendant of Bharata. It is very obvious that all pleasure we feel is at level of sense organs. And we LOVE to enjoy that feeling all the way. So LOVE at ordinary Level is nothing but sense of pleasure recognized by our five senses individually or collectively. It is very important to understand that even Sex Pleasure, what we think is ultimate pleasure, is also the pleasure at sense organ level. Secondly to note that all living beings are already programmed to enjoy all such pains and pleasure naturally. The God suggests us all to endure such feeling bravely. Hidden meaning is all that we should not give much important to all such pains and pleasure. So worldly “LOVE”, is at sense organ level and one should accept and should take it coolly.

N
ow the question is ‘Does the Lord Is an Object?’ If so then we can enjoy the pleasure of GOD, so to say we can LOVE Him. But the God is not an Object. He is the formless in you. And to connect to that formless in you is the essence of man’s finite existence. This is the essence of all spiritual Sadhana. Let us see what Bhagwat Geeta says in this context.

Nor does the Sun shine there, nor the moon, nor fire; to which having gone they return not; that is My Supreme Abode. From above description it is clear that, That God Principal is TIMELESS SPACELESS MASSLESS So this God Principal is not the matter. It is THE ABSOLUTE. It is beyond perception of sense organs. Therefore the Love towards God is not like worldly Love. It is not MAKING LOVE. But it is just ‘Happening’ due to HIS Grace only. Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni

T
he Geetacharya, Sage Vyas had tried to throw sufficient light on Godly Love i.e. “Bhakti”. Let us try to contemplate on some of the hints given by him through dialogue between the confused Warrior Arjuna and the great Master Lord Krishna. Coming back to the original point by Taoshobuddha: And therefore: If Allah does not make you capable remember it is not in the hands of the finiteness of man. Ordinary love is common. (But that leads to duality and conflict) Eternal love or love divine is not common!!

In the midst of battle field the lord does not hesitate to confess to Arjuna that he loves him immensely. Here again ‘My’ supreme word, most secret of all; because you are dearly beloved of ‘Me’, therefore, I will tell you what is good. (For you) “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Eight Steps of Love Divine
I
n process of falling in love with some body and reaching up-to the final goal or ultimate fruition there are eight major steps or phases through which each lover has to pass. These are:
rit ‘Liking’ One should get information and he should like the subject is very first step in love-affair.
p`oma ‘Desire’ Once liking is created then slowly desire is aroused. It is just primary feeling of getting that thing or being.
snaoh ‘Deep desire’ This feeling of wanting is though one sided desire. Still it is feeling of Milk-Cream in mouth, sticky, smooth, like to enjoy again and again. Now it is day dreaming.

MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE
maana ‘Respect’ Slowly feeling of respect is generated in mind. This respect is manifested in simple actions like standing up and talking with most respectful manners.
p`Naya ‘Communicate’ Slowly the lover becomes bold and he tries to communicate his tender feeling to his beloved.
raga ‘Passion’ Really speaking this Sanskrit word cannot be translated into any foreign luggage. The ‘Rag’ is such feeling or very sweet emotion when you are with your beloved.
Anauraga ‘Lingering Passion’ The ‘Anu- Rag’ means followed by. It is such feeling or very sweet emotion when you are not with your beloved. These are the sweet thoughts, lingering afterwards.
mahanauBaava ‘Union’ This is the ultimate goal to be achieved by lover in his love pilgrimage.

The lord declares in roaring voice,’ Oh! Arjuan, know ‘ME’ as Unborn, and beginning less ‘Lord’ means abode of this universe. You will be liberated from all Sins. The real ‘Sin’ is to forget ‘HIM’, ‘HIS’ true nature and that ‘HE’ is the substratum, ‘True Essential Nature, ‘Dharma’, ‘Law of being’. Once we have ‘Re-Cognize’ this fact we are free from our basic, fundamental sin. HE and ‘ME’ are the one and the same is “RE-MEMORY” gained, ‘smauit-labQvaa’. Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: `Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Matthew 22:37. TO LOVE YOUR OWN-SELF IF MOST NATURAL PHENOMENON. AND THIS LOVE IS TO ‘THE SELF’. IT IS NOTHING BUT RE-DISCOVERY OF MY OWN NATURE THAT, ‘I AM UNIVERSE’; ‘I AM EVERY THING AND BEING’. THEN OFFCOURSE YES, “LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR WHO ARE NOT ONLY NEXT TO YOU BUT ALL THOSE THINGS AND BEINGS ARE SURROUNDED BY YOU, BECOMES MOST NATURAL PROCESS. LOVE BECOMES YOUR OWN NATURE.

“He is with me and I am with him”, this sweet feeling, poetic hangover is felt by the devotee once he started liking Him. Where-ever the devotee goes carries ‘Beloved’ in one’s heart. Even physical separation is also a happy feeling for him. It is all day-dreaming for the lover. Day by day this desire becomes so intense that the devotee goes on thinking about God day and night. Another meaning of snaoh is stickiness. It is an attraction to wards God. You are stuck to or hooked to God.

THIS IS ALL ABOUT HOW A DEVOTEE SHOULD RESPECT THE LORD. HE SHOULD TRY TO FEEL HIS PRESENCE EVERYWHERE!!! Once it happened. Rabindranath Tagore was somewhere and he had a bath in the sea. As he was going back he spotted a heap of garbage piled along the way. One can imagine the pile of garbage. Flies and birds hovering around! The nauseating smell filling the environment! No one will pass that sight. Rabindranath began to dance out of ecstasy. This baffled the followers. So they enquired, ‘What is so fascinating that you started dancing, seeing this pile of garbage?’ An ecstatic Rabindranath responded, ‘As I was approaching the pile, I saw the sunrays falling on the pile of garbage and the garbage glittering in the sunlight. I was filled with tremendous joy and love.’ Look at the rays of the sun that make no distinction. It falls equally on everything that comes in its way.

Step – 6 ‘Passion’ raga ‘Passion’
S
ixth Step is ‘Passion towards God’. One should be passionate to be with ‘Him’.
Lord uses phrase
“mayyaasa>” means devotee should be ‘passionate’ about me. Besides that devotee should think his beloved must think “vaasaudova sava-imait” The lord is everything for me. He is only my love in this universe.

MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE Lord clearly suggests Devotee’s passion should be with knowledge that The Lord is ultimate source of everything. He is ‘Devine’ and All Great. The Love must be such pregnant. When Devotee has such strong affection The Lord also comes forward to reveal him more vividly.

The Blessed Lord said: Behold, O Partha, forms of ‘Me’ by hundreds and thousands, of different sorts Divine, of various colors and shapes. But you are not able to behold ‘Me’ with these your own eyes; I give you the divine-eye; behold ‘My’ lordly YOGA. Lord become so anxious to show himself to you that he himself offers you and gives you ability to see him.

Devotee says----Salutations! Salutations unto You a thousand times, and again salutations unto ‘You’! ---- He gets emotional. Salutations to You, before and behind! Salutations to You on every side! O All! You, Infinite in Power, and Infinite in Prowess, pervade all; wherefore ‘You’ are the All. NATURALLY, THE LORD IS, AS ARJUNA SAYS, “OF UNEQUALLED GREATNESS,” AND THERE IS NONE “SUPERIOR TO THEE IN THE THREE WORLDS.” BECAUSE IT IS SO:

Step – 7 ‘Lingering Passion’ Anauraga ‘Lingering Passion’
S
eventh Step is “love in His Absence”
Now devotee has well realized that his ‘beloved’ is everywhere. Rather ‘He’ is within and without. His actual physical presence is now no more required. He is always with him. This lingering sweet and pleasant feeling is ever fragrance of his love eternal. Now all activities in life have become his “Pooja”. No it is the just courting the beloved.

With their minds wholly resting in ‘Me’, with their senses absorbed in ‘Me’, enlightening one another, and ever speaking of ‘Me’ they are satisfied and delighted. When two devotees meet they talk about their Beloved God only. They tell their own experiences to each other. Some times they tell stories. Even they sing songs of their Beloved. Even such devotee spends his time in service to mankind as service to God. He seeks pleasure in doing such acts.

MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE To the ever-steadfast, worshipping “Me’, with love, I give the "BUDDHI YOGA", by which they come to ‘Me’. Lord promises, ‘I give that 'Buddhi yoga’ BY WHICH THEY CAN COME UNTO ME." But which the devotee must pass through all above stages mentioned earner. ‘To the eversteadfast, worshipping’, is an ultimate and essential process. The devotee striving diligently, as explained above, will be blessed with ‘AN INTELLECTUAL CONTACT WITH, OR OMPREHENSION OF’ Reality. When, through the above process of bringing the mind to quietude, a meditator has succeeded in arresting the mind's agitations (Vikshepa), and has consequently lifted the veiling (Avarana) from his intellect, he comes to the State of Transcendental Experience (Samadhi), which is the fulfillment of Buddhi yoga. This is ‘The Union’ with God.

Out of mere compassion for them, I, dwelling within their hearts, destroy the darkness born of ignorance by the luminous lamp-of-Knowledge. This compassion cannot be directly invoked unless the seeker pays the price for it. Self efforts up to the threshold of Godliness are very much essential for devotee in self unfoldment.

MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE We may wonder what makes the Lord shower His grace upon one, and not upon another. It CANNOT be a haphazard distribution of an Omnipotent, who does things as He likes, arbitrarily, without any rhyme or reason! For, in that case the Lord will be accused of partiality and arbitrariness.
Allaah Agar taOfIk na do [nsaana ko basa ka kama nahI …………………………… [rfanao mauhbbat Aama nahI Yes, Allaah Agar taOfIk na do. His grace is not that free of cost. One has to endeavor for this grace. The Lord says ----HERE WE GET THE SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION OF WHAT COMPELS THE LORD TO SHOWER HIS SPECIAL FAVOURS UPON SOMEONE SOMETIMES AND NOT UPON ALL AT ALL TIMES: But, by single-minded devotion, can I, of this Form, be ‘known’ and ‘seen’ in reality, and also ‘entered’ into, O Parantapa (O scorcher of your foes)! The three stages in which realization of Truth comes to man are indicated here when the Lord says, ‘TO KNOW, TO SEE, AND TO ENTER.’ A definite intellectual knowledge of the goal and the path is the beginning of a seeker’s pilgrimage --- TO KNOW. Next is the seeker’s attempt to masticate the ideas intellectually understood through his own personal reflections upon the information which he has already gathered --- TO SEE.
Allah Agar Taufiq Na De… Anil Sohoni
Page 71
MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE Having thus 'known' and 'seen' the goal, thereafter, the seeker, through a process of detachment from the false and attachment to the Real, comes to experience the Truth as no object other than himself --- TO ENTER. By the term ‘entering,’ it is also indicated that the fulfilled seeker becomes the very essence of the sought. The dreamer, suffering from the sorrows of the dream, ends it all, when he no more sees, but ‘enters’ the waking-state, himself to become the ‘waker’. HOW? ... I SHALL EXPLAIN, SAYS THE LORD

MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. [John 3:16] I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. [Galatians 2:20] Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. – [Deuteronomy 7:9] For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones . . . [Psalm 37:28] I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me. – [Proverbs 8:17] This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. – [1John 4:9-11] And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him? [1 John 4:16]

Page 74
MIRA KE SHYAM – EMBODIMENT OF LOVE We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. – [1 John 4:19-20] This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother. – [1 John 3:10] No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. – [Matthew 6:24]
So be very careful to love the LORD your God. – [Joshua 23:11] I love you, O LORD, my strength. – [Psalm 18:1] Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ – [Matthew 22:37-39] Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails . . . And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. – [Excerpts from 1 Corinthians 13:4-13]

Love is unseen but realized truth. Real love has something of the beyond. This is the reason it never thinks of the future. And then there can be no problem with the future. Tomorrow does not exist for real love. Time does not exist for real love because tomorrow is the function of time. Real love is the outcome of the realm beyond time and space. If you love a person, your love is an expression of your realization within. And realization does not happen through the mind. However mind is the only faculty that you trust. Remember all realization happens within – the deep recess of your being now and here. You never say that this you will realize in future. What will happen tomorrow— who cares? Today is so much and enough. This moment is eternity. What will happen tomorrow, we will see when tomorrow comes? And tomorrow never comes. Real love is of the present. To say real love seems incorrect but I have to use the word for you as love has been defiled. This is just to distinguish your understanding of love. Always remember anything real has to be part of awareness. Awareness is of the Sohoni isThen a Retired present. Awareness is partAnil of meditation. there isMechanical no problem! Engineer
