RHAPSODY 1 https://youtu.be/OmcIDroMgt8 Listen to the rhapsody of the Taitriya Upanishad
2 Rapsody poem by Bijou Lakshmi das Your breath is in the fragrance of the rose, whisper in the breeze, All is Beauty, Splendour: Heaven’s surrealist surprise! When you whistle in the air, I babble to the brook, You play the harp with beautiful notes with a celestial look. All is perfect, all is melody, Dreams float in ether in their roseate rhapsody. The swift falling cascades crooning to the Zephyr, The pliant plenitude is vibrant with the Divine elixir, The silent touch soon trembles by the timid leaves, Rustles are vibrant in distant woodland’s solemn outfit. An asphodel Felicity spreads fast the nectar around, I am lost in YOU and YOU in ME in the Divine Playground; The earthly life uncertain soon begins to cease, We are ONE, lost in its profundity in this infinite release. In Symphony’s songs seized with Love’s aureate wings, The dewy Dawn walks down to kiss first the Sun-bathed beams, The Earth is joyful Bliss-rapt, and golden attire-clad, The New Creation filled with voluptuous vanity, forever glad. The flight for the Unknown heights awaiting us, The far-off distant hills sing momentous songs sublime; The virgin vesper Moon lurks behind stars with her silvery mirth, Let us make our Journey a miraculous event in the sacrosanct Vast. All things are pure, sanguine that bloom in time, For, Time will not wait we must reach its never-ending rhyme, The blossoms of the Brown look up to the sky to rise, The tiresome tidings of the Soil seek solace in an Elysian Paradise. The unique unison is classic, transcending mortal acts, Triumphant, Supreme – not besieged by any miry earth, With star-cradled joy and Moon-rapt blithe, The unbridled mind in Rapture’s kingdom does forever cease. The one Immutable embraces us in His never-ending clasp, We must make life Eternal, Omnipresent in His Eternal Vast. 3 When breath becomes air Memory turns into azure hue, A free rein do I have To dwell upon the uninvaded empire With its amazing surprise That has been long since due. No more torment in toiling twilight No more tiresome failing flight None to solicit to scale alone Solitude's heaven-reaching heights, Where sits forlorn the Departed Dear In his muse-moist mirth ; Oh the Sweet Vernal Birth! My Spirit soars high with its Spring-clad splendour, To reach the caravan of Delight And its all-enchanting grandeur - In the Unknown Kingdom Of the immutable Vast; The glance is cast Upon the moon-lit visage and the Sun-lit Trance. The sweet lips of love Clasped in the Rapture-rapt kiss, In Surrealist realm of all-transcending Bliss - Beyond all mortal grasp. The Invisible invades me In lonely moments of Dusk-clad hours With its silent touch and solemn watch, Over my fear and surmise, My frail attempt to rise >From the sordid process of mundane birth. Love's enlivening Rhapsody Reigns over Earth, All enraptured in its Ecstasy's mirth; The gladdening embrace of Infinitude For everyone infinitesimal Makes the journey eternally jovial, The wedded seventh heaven reaches Joy's climax, The Zephyr's melody is in air around, In jubilation vibrant, All we need is a new enlightened Birth With everything pure, sanguine and sacrosanct. None to hate, none to fear Each and everyone as our supreme dear, All united in a single integrated Whole; The One String pulls Creation's curtain apart, To make our playact as the most successful ART. (Bijoylakshmi Das, Haridwar, 13th Sept 2019) 4 THEN WHAT IS THE RHAPSODY OR THE RAPTURE/. Chhandogya Upanishad. (VIII.i.1) clarifies that the word Space / Akasha is the Supreme Self: *Atha yad idam asmin Brahmapure daharam pundareekam veshma, daharosminn anrarikshah, tasmin yad antah tad anveshta-vyam, tad vaa va vijijnaasitavyam/ *( It is against the background of seeking the Individual Self as the Supreme Brahman Himself- notwithstanding the temporary body frame enlivened with organs and senses headed by the mind and activised with ‘praana’- the ‘Antaratma’ or the Inner Self akin to Paramatma the Supreme Self controlling the Pancha Bhutas or the Basic Five Elements and Time- there is a small Lotus - like dwelling that is within the city of Brahman! And that ‘Small Space’ is the ‘daharaakaasha’ or the Inner Space!’). Brihadaranya Upanishad vide II.i.20 further explains: *Sa yathornaabhis tantunoccharet, yathaagneh kshudraa visphulingaa vyuccharanti, evam evaasmaad aatmanah sarve praanah, sarve lokaah, sarve Devaah, sarvaani bhutaani vyuccharanti: tasyopanishat, satyasya satyam iti praanaah vai satyam, tesham esha satyam/ *( Individual Selves having similar body parts manifest specific characteristics typical of their own; his is indeed so with all the Beings in Creation, more so of humans. This is on the analogy of a spider weaving threads of similar nature or fire creating tiny sparks flickering all around. In the same way human organs like tongue emanating sound and speech, hands and feet resulting in actions, skin creating odour, heart demanding breathing and mind deriving thoughts and so on. Respective Devas preside over organs, senses and worlds. Various other Beings ranging from Hiranyagarbha to a blade of grass manifest their own features. Likewise, all the Individual selves in existence are akin to Brahman and the fundamental Truth is that the Individual Self is Supreme! Indeed that is the Truth of the Truths!) HENCE AHAM BRAHMASMI IS THE ABSOLUTE RHAPSODY.
