Garden: Ever immersed...


Ever immersed in bliss, having no fear in his mind, he keeps the spirit of union in the midst of all enjoyments. The infinite dwelling of the Infinite Being is everywhere: in earth, water, sky, and air.

Next: This is the end of a path, but not the end of the garden. Return to the beginning: would you like to follow the VEENA again, or answer the call of the FLUTE?

Here is the full poem:

LVI

I. 68. bhâi kôî satguru sant kahâwaî

  He is the real Sadhu, who can reveal the form of the Formless to
    the vision of these eyes:
  Who teaches the simple way of attaining Him, that is other than
    rites or ceremonies:
  Who does not make you close the doors, and hold the breath, and
    renounce the world:
  Who makes you perceive the Supreme Spirit wherever the mind
    attaches itself:
  Who teaches you to be still in the midst of all your activities.
  Ever immersed in bliss, having no fear in his mind, he keeps the
    spirit of union in the midst of all enjoyments.
  The infinite dwelling of the Infinite Being is everywhere: in
    earth, water, sky, and air:
  Firm as the thunderbolt, the seat of the seeker is established
    above the void.
  He who is within is without: I see Him and none else.
