Who am I

Success in life begins with knowing, "Who am I? What is the purpose of my life?" Knowledge of the self exists; but sincere seekers are rare. More rare are the great teachers of such wisdom. Since time immemorial, wise men have described our wonderful nature: spiritual, primeval, ever-existing, undying, unchangeable, imperishable. This selection of the writings of Jagad Guru Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa (Chris Butler) shares that timeless wisdom — inspiring, challenging , practical.

TWENTY-ONE

1
I have now understood that Thy feet, Oh Lord,
Are ever full of nectar that dispels all fear and sorrow.

2
I have surrendered everything at Thy lotus feet:
I have laid myself down, Oh Lord,
Under the shelter of Thy lotus feet.

3
Thy lotus feet, Oh Lord, be my protection.
No other protector have I in this worldly sojourn.

4
I know now that I am Thy eternal servant;
The charge of my maintenance now belongs to Thee.

5
In the life that was unsubmissive to Thee I suffered much sorrow.
All my miseries are ended by gaining those holy feet of Thine.

6
For gaining Thy feet Rama practiced austerities.
By obtaining Thy feet Shiva attained his own well being.

7
Thy feet fulfilled all the desires of Brahma.
Narada Muni clasped Thy feet to his heart.

8
Thy feet that chase away all fear I hold on my head,
And dance with the greatest joy and sing the praise of Thy feet,

9
From the perils of the worldly journey
Thy feet will surely deliver Bhaktivinode.

KARMA
According to yoga, every action, good or bad, produces some karmic reaction. Actions that are ?bad? create bad karmic reactions. A person who engages in heinous criminal actions or who lives simply like an animal, exploiting others, will have to eat the bitter fruit of such actions in the future.
