Two Poems by His Holiness Guruji Swami Vishnudevanand Saraswati of Prayagraj~Allahabad (1904-1997), read by Rev. Dr. Swami Bhajanananda Saraswati. Guruji wrote these poems in 1978 sitting on a bench in Central Park in response to a devotee's question: "What is vairagya?" ADMONITION I Oh Son of Immortality! You are the Divine Dweller You have come here as a stranger and a traveler It is a domain of diversity and endless dilemma Life is perpetually puzzling in its phenomena and panorama Here there is always attractive and repulsive illusion You may play or struggle but be detached from delusion The life of sensuality is confused, deviated, and fallacious slavery The habit of mundane greediness is temptation and bad beggary Be free from this changing farce and absurdity of duality Don't be blindly absorbed in this transitory sensuality This mysterious dramatic stage is not your final goal Play dispassionately and finish your ordained role Go to the background of plurality, quality, and quantity Know that Unity, Self-identity, and Inconceivable Divinity There is neither darkness or light or nothingness But Plenum, Superconsciousness, and Full Awareness It is not a mental conception, imagination or hallucination But Supersensuous Perception and Self-Realization It is the culmination of culture and the consummation of wisdom It is the life of emancipation and the Divine Freedom ADMONITION II Oh Dearest Soul, Rise from animality; cross the realm of humanity Taste the Immortality and realize the Eternal Divinity Refrain from ignorant sensuality; know your Self-Identity Dance in ecstasy in the the innermost field of felicity Go beyond the changing pleasure and pain, timidity, and knavery Control the stubborn mind and be free from empirical slavery Through the inner senses enjoy the innermost Light and Sound Transcend this profane world; recognize the Provident Profound Internal Existence is the embodiment of Peach, Bliss, and Wisdom External perception is hallucination, delusion, and bad boredom The external force is the field of mysterious phantasmagoria It is a tantalizing puzzle spreading like infectious bacteria How wonderful is the Perennial Peace of Celestial Scenery Is the fruit of Yogic Meditation and Spiritual Discovery Be heedful and free from the live of corruption and pollution Realize the Self and attain Everlasting Joy of Blissful Liberation Go beyond good and evil, mind and speech, and the sensual bound Dive deep into the River of Rapture; reach the Divine Ground If you be desireless, in the nothingness you may find The Ubiquitous, All-knowing, the Superconscious mind The Self knows no anger, hate, nor enmity Self remains unchanged from infancy to maturity He is beyond space and time; He has no form or hue He is you whom you seek; He seeks all of you He is the Creator, Destroyer, and Inner Ruler He is the All-sustainer and Cosmic Controller
