3.49
As you walk steps closer and closer to God, You sometimes experience The elation of your own Supreme Divinity. Your body rocks with sobs. Your love and devotion Peak above your body limitations. You momentarily experience the self, Losing body consciousness. At other times you experience, A depression of self-inquiry You feel an emptiness of being unrewarded, In your search of the self. You lack motivation and you may even Doubt the existence of God. I call these the “high tides” and “low tides.” Water in the ocean travels in waves, Rising up to a peak and then flowing down. It is only when it reaches the shores, That the waves settle near to a ripple, And then from a small ripple To a water level that is constant. You too are a wave, That will travel through its “highs” and “lows,” Of experiencing and understanding The divinity within. As your journey comes closer, The waves become only a ripple, And when you attain Godhood, there is only bliss. From: Sai Darshan by Seema Dewan Man is many animals in one. He has the jackal, the buffalo, the tiger, the elephant - all in him. He must cast off these traits from his composition. When he indulges in needless and useless controversy on matters beyond his understanding, he is announcing himself as a sheep; when he jumps from one idea to another, from one ideal to another, from one project to another, without fully involving himself in any, he is exhibiting the nature of a monkey. Those who manage to go through life without caring for honest living are akin to the crow, and those who adopt devious ways to earn a livelihood are akin to the jackal. All such animal traits must be sacrificed on the altar of the mind.
