Song of TranceSong of Trance

Behold!

Spheres on spheres,

Systems after systems,

Countless worlds and suns,

Countless worlds and suns,

Moons and stars and all,

Moving in measures, band by band,

The shining islands of the spatial sea,

Stirred with the dreadful waves,

Which roll in restless tides of change,

Slowly, slowly drown

in the darkest abyss of space

infinite, unfathomed, undiminished,

Leaving behind, image-worlds and suns,

Moons and stars and all mere images,

The shadow islands of the infinite sea,

in the void of the subtlest mind

There rises and falls,

Rises and falls again and again,

As a mighty log in a stormy sea,

The yet sweet, but fleeting universe,

And then floats and sinks again,

Rushing and never ceasing,

In the rapid current 'I'

into the womb

Immense, great, primordial,

Slowly, slowly enter

without haste or noise or jerks

The shadow-clusters numberless,

As the idle limbs of a tortoise great;

And yet flows and flows ceaseless

The blissful current, 'I am',

Lonely, without friend or foe.

There stops and flows no more

This, our current great,

And exists yet the calmly void,

That, passing from states to states unnamed.

Mergeth, my Lord, into the void-

Absolute, beyond speech and mind;

Whose heart surveys in this insight vast,

He only knows beyond all the doubt.

(addressed to his Master)

Jadipura, 12 miles from Anant-Nag,

(in the apple grove of Sri Vishnu Kaul)

Kashmir, (The Himalayas), August, 1920.

Sri Swami Jnanananda.

(This song of samadhi is posted to pass on Master's message & experience, there is no other intention, of what so ever it may be.)
