Opening Remarks
Though the whole creation emerges from the One, the Divine has seeded it with something directly emerging from His own Being. These are the soul-seeds that will eventually blossom into psychic being through a process of birth and death and rebirth.
The Eternal is new born
Infinite, coeval with the mind of God,
It bore within itself a seed, a flame,
A seed from which the Eternal is new-born,
A flame that cancels death in mortal things.
The cosmic Divine is one with the Transcendent Divine though in a different poise. He draws all things from the Transcendent ‘God’ and shares His infinity. In His womb He bears the seed of the Eternal that would enter the play of Space and Time through birth and death. The purpose of this process is so that this seed may grow and manifest the divine possibility inherent within it. The deathless psychic flame is held within Its lap of love and grows by His touch towards higher and higher states.
Intimacy of God
All grew to all kindred and self and near;
The intimacy of God was everywhere,
No veil was felt, no brute barrier inert,
Distance could not divide, Time could not change.
Here one dwelt in the oneness of God with the creation. He was felt without a veil or any barrier of objects or Space and Time everywhere and in all beings as the same in essence and substance.
Ether of undying love
A fire of passion burned in spirit-depths,
A constant touch of sweetness linked all hearts,
The throb of one adoration’s single bliss
In a rapt ether of undying love.
In those spirit-depths there burned the fire of a divine passion. There was felt the touch of a sweetness linking all hearts in a chord of oneness and bliss. A hymn of adoration throbbed in that space supported and surrounded by a rapt ether of undying love.
Universal harmonies
An inner happiness abode in all,
A sense of universal harmonies,
A measureless secure eternity
Of truth and beauty and good and joy made one.
All discords ceased there melting into universal harmonies and an inner happiness that dwelt in all beings. There was a security beyond measure in a field of truth and beauty and good and joy made one.
Closing Remarks
It is the psychic world in which Aswapati has stepped in in his search for the door towards the Beyond. It is a world where all souls meet in a happy and harmonious embrace.
